Have you ever wished you were more intelligent? We all have. However, most of us accept the fallacy that, as adults, we are doing well to simply hold onto the brain cells we’ve got. It’s the rare individual who understands that brain cells continue to develop as a person ages. This is called neurogenesis. Adult neurons don’t develop at the same rate as those of a child, but they do have the capacity to grow.
