The document discusses executive functions and cognitive skills. It explains that executive functions include attention, memory, problem solving and are located in the frontal lobes. Weak cognitive skills can hinder learning while strong skills promote academic success. It then describes how stress impacts cognitive functions and provides examples of brain training tools and their benefits for developing intelligence and lifelong learning.

It sends CRF (corticotrophin releasing factor) to the pituitary gland. The aroused pituitary now releases ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) to the bloodstream. Within seconds, ACTH arrives at the adrenal glands (Heart) The adrenal glands secrete glucocorticoids such as cortisol in the bloodstream The Body’s Response to Stress Source: “Teaching with Brain in Mind “ Book by Eric Jensen

14. Dr Elizabeth Coulson and colleagues published their research in 2008 in the Journal of Neuroscience, showing that if a neuron is not sufficiently stimulated by the cells around it, it dies. This self-destruction is an important factor in stroke, Alzheimer's and motor neuron diseases , leading to the loss of essential nerve cells from the adult brain. “ Rigorous and targeted cognitive training has been used in clinical practice for many years. Exercising our brains systematically is as important as exercising our bodies.” – Dr. Elkhonon Goldberg, neuropsychologist, Clinical professor of neurology at New York University School of Medicine, and disciple of Alexander Luria.
