Tenets of the Brain
#1. Change can occur only when the brain is in the mood
#2. Change strengthens connection between neurons engaged at the same time
#3. Neurons that fire together, wire together
#4. Initial changes are just temporary
#5. Brain plasticity is a two-way street and we can either drive brain change negatively or positively
#6. Memory is crucial for learning
#7. Motivation is a key factor in brain plasticity

I really like this summary of the requirements for brain change. It could also be flipped around to provide guidelines for tasks or activities that would help stimulate brain change:
1. Exercise your brain when you feel engaged.
2./3. Pick a task or brain exercise that repeats the same mental patterns, helping to reinforce the "co-firing".
4. Keep at it!
5. Aim to strengthen core brain functions or help stimulate useful positive change.
6. Make sure to train your focus and memory.
7. Pick a brain exercise that you find challenging and rewarding.
