Thank you, just discovered this site. Really glad that I did! I go tomorrow for the results of my EEG with a nurologist, please forgive if I've misspelled it!? Small problem with memory, I believe may be due to one of the meds I take for Scoliosis (curvature of the spine). But, as that hurts a great deal, and they help even more, I'm not yet willing to give any of them up, although I'm most careful and frugal about the taking of them! Good luck to all and My Best Wishes, Rebecca in Tucson, AZ Very Good Points, all. Thank you, just discovered this site. Really glad that I did!

The benefits of increased blood flow is the access to essential fules the blood provides. Get that nutrition piece in to optimize your brain function. kevin Don’t forget to add the nutrients.

As for exercise, if you have ambulatory, age, or health issues that limit the amount and types of exercise, you can gain some of this benefit by doing floor and sitting exercises like stretching and yoga. The increased blood flow to the brain as we lay down gives you a head start of sorts, compared to say running. And for those with hydrocephalus and CNS shunt, exercising can help to reduce complaints associated with shunt overdrainage.
