  • Summary

    Neuro-intelligent cultures provide brain-boosting benefits, acknowledge the humanity and dignity in each individual, and promote environments rich with cognitive power. Leaders in neuro-intelligent cultures make cognitive well-being a priority, reaping benefit at both the individual and institutional levels. Embracing the neuroscience of cognitive wellness is critical to protecting brain function and enhancing cognitive performance. You can make cognitive fitness a priority by engaging in exercise, sufficient sleep, and adequate time away from work. This will require subordinating other activities in favor of time spent recharging from the demands of work or school. Substituting beneficial brain habits for less healthy activities, such as cocktail hour or watching television, could provide the time needed to optimize cognitive performance. Neuroplasticity, the most promising of human features, allows every brain to become what is demanded of it.
