"Exercise as ADHD Treatment? Executive Functioning and Problem Solving: A Bidirectional Relation"
Brain Health: How Exercise Can Stimulate the Birth of New Neurons? C8 Sciences is based on Dr. Wexler’s pioneering research, which uses computerized programs to leverage the brain’s ability to rewire itself through neural activity stimulated by the environment. “Neuroplasticity-based treatments have been proven to help adult stroke victims and people with schizophrenia,” Dr. Wexler explained. “Since the plasticity of a child’s brain is much greater than an adult’s, the potential for cognitive improvement is therefore also much greater.” This led to the first cognitive development program that integrates physical and computer exercises to improve a child’s ability to think, focus, learn, and socially interact. The possible value of structured physical activity in a comprehensive cognitive neuroscience treatment program for ADHD is indicated further by recent reports that boys with ADHD have more negative attitudes about sports, pay less attention to detail regar
