What is the Thinking Organ

Our brain is a thinking organ that learns and grows by interacting with the world through perception and action. Mental stimulation improves brain function and actually protects against cognitive decline, as does physical exercise.

The human brain is able to continually adapt and rewire itself. Even in old age, it can grow new neurons. Severe mental decline is usually caused by disease, whereas most age-related losses in memory or motor skills simply result from inactivity and a lack of mental exercise and stimulation. In other words, use it or lose it. And that is exactly what the Hale Makua Wailuku residents did during our version of Jeopardy. Residents chose from various topics that gave them the chance to jog their brains and answer the trivia.
