This document discusses neuroplasticity and how the brain can consciously reshape pathways through attention and repetition. While we are just beginning to understand brain growth, activities like physical exercise, meditation, and video games may help improve overall brain function by increasing connections between brain cells and processing information more quickly. The key aspects that help form new neural pathways are attention to the activity and generating confidence and dopamine, which aids neurogenesis and making the pathways more effective.
Using gaze-driven video games, which are controlled using only our eyes, we can train attention skills by strengthening the connections between different parts of the brain, including the frontal cortex and the parietal cortex. The games gradually shape behavior using visual and auditory feedback provided in real-time.
The human brain is the most important organ of the human body, that regulates the proper functioning, reflexes, and total brainwave activity. Most people have a normal functioning brain, even those people have several imbalances or chronic emotions that can hit on their daily day to day life. This is where neurofeedback therapy can help.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Pulmonary Thromboembolism - etilogy, types, medical- Surgical and nursing man...VarunMahajani
Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
2. Neuroplasticity
Reshaping brain pathways
Having the ability to consciously change
the way the brain processes
This is a new uncharted area of science,
the reality is we are only on the tip of the
iceberg to understanding how brain
growth works.
3. IS There a Magic Brain Work
Out?
We know using your
muscles makes you
stronger.
Is that the same
concept in the
brain? Does using
your brain make
you smarter?
4. Neural Pathways
Our nervous system
is wired with
millions of neurons
that run in pathways
that connect like a
complex road.
When we learn new
behaviors we make
new paths.
5. Neural Pathways
The more we use a certain pathway the
more efficient that neural path gets.
Our thought or action becomes faster
and requires less effort.
6. Forging New Roads
However…to make new pathway it
requires more than the repetition used to
build muscles.
It also requires attention.
7. Does it carry over?
It seems that the brain works by building
efficiency of one neural path at a time.
Only the one you give attention too.
That basically means there is no
crossover.
For example, doing crossword puzzles
won’t make you less likely to remember
where you put your glasses but it will
make you better at crosswords
8. Common Attitudes to Meditation
I am going to do this and must get it
right.
I should focus 100%.
I am going to try extremely hard.
10. Some Benefits of Meditation
Your mind gets stronger and faster.
Increases connections between brain
cells.
Gyrification-linked to processing
information quickly.
18. Is it easy?
No it isn’t easy to pay attention to our brain
operations.
Instinctually we like to use a very
automatic portion of our brain – the one
that tells us what to do when we feel
threatened.
To form new pathways we have to use a
more complex portion of our brain called
the prefrontal cortex.
19. Activities that help
This is a very new area of study where
everything is uncharted waters.
Very few things claiming to help the brain
show any evidence in scientific studies.
20. Except….
However there are a few activities that
show promise to improving overall brain
function and control
Physical exercise
Meditation
Video games?
22. Confidence is key
Dopamine is the pleasure drug released
by our bodies. It is released when we
are happy or confident.
Studies show that generating new
pathways is more effective if attention is
given to the activity as well as dopamine
is present
If you believe you can do it you will.
23. Take home points
You are already making the effort.
Continue to pay attention to the
pathways you want to create, not the
ones you want to remove.
Build your confidence to aid inn
neurogenesis.
