Brain optimization refers to the process of challenging the brain to develop optimal fundamental skills that are necessary for learning. With an optimal brain, your ability to perform mental activities is maximized. All of these strategies can be applied to almost anything, including careers, relationships, learning, and more.

The two critical elements related to improving the human brain are neurogenesis and neuroplasticity. Neurogenesis refers to the creation of new brain cells while neuroplasticity indicates putting those new brain cells to good use.
