Let's talk about brain gains /sci/. The whole spectrum of the subject, from anecdotal, to practical, to deep science.

>What are your own ideas about improving cognitive abilities? "brain workouts", supplements to take before sleep, habits, etc.

>If you have a scientific background in neuroscience, what sort of research/books can you recommend on brain health?

>What do you personally do to keep your brain healthy, what do you notice is good/bad for your cognitive abilities? Do you have a routine?

Can you consider the brain to be almost like a muscle, and exercise and improve it consistently with a set of activities and a specific diet?
