MINDRAMP makes the seemingly audacious statement that you have the power to design your own brain. You have the power to shape the structure and function of your brain to be healthier, more resilient and better able to resist disease. You have the power to keep your mind sharp and to increase your mind's ability to think creatively and adaptively. What gives you this power? The enduring plasticity of your brain and mind. Your brain constantly changes its structure in response to what you experience, feel, do and think. Your mind can continue to learn and become wiser the longer your live. Your brain changes throughout life in both positive and negative ways. To prevent premature aging and to keep brain and mind healthy you need to minimize the negative plastic changes and optimize the positive changes. This is the core of MINDRAMP's Positive Plasticity Premise.
