The brain is an important part of a person’s body and it is responsible for most things that happen in our day to day life. There are so many things that can affect the cognitive abilities of a person. Some of these factors include disease, trauma or chemotherapy. Recent developments and discoveries in the area of neuroscience have shown that regular brain fitness training can provide considerable benefits to people of all ages who have experienced cognitive decline, from different factors. People with Alzheimer's, ADHD, MS, Parkinson's and chemo fog can use CogniFit to improve their cognitive health.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common mental disorders that develop in children. Children with ADHD experience impaired functioning at home, at school, and in relationships with their peers. If untreated, the disorder can produce long-term adverse effects, extending into adolescence and adulthood, in as many as 50 percent of children diagnosed with ADHD. The mental symptoms of ADHD are primarily attention-related difficulties. These usually include inability to concentrate or to sustain attention, avoidance of mental effort, inability to follow instructions and inability to inhibit actions.

In addition to their ability to train all 14 key cognitive abilities that include memory, CogniFit brain fitness programs are particularly effective at developing and improving attention skills. CogniFit brain fitness programs also feature a personal coach who offers tips and suggestions along the way, making it easier for young users to remain interested and motivated to stick with their training.

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a form of dementia, which is a disease of the nervous system that's characterized by loss of certain cognitive abilities. It usually develops during old age and it's marked by a decline in mental functions such as memory, reasoning, and the ability to plan.

A person with AD usually experiences a gradual decline in mental functions. The first stages include a slight loss of memory, such as the inability to remember the names of people or objects. But as the disease develops, people with AD begin to lose the ability to carry out familiar tasks, to reason, and to exercise judgment. Moods, personality, and ability to communicate may also be affected. What many people don't realize is that only about a third of people who have Alzheimer's disease actually develop the symptoms. The rest live perfectly normal lives; only after they have died do autopsies reveal that their brains were riddled with the Alzheimer's scars.

Symptoms of AD can be slowed down and even prevented by building up a strong cognitive reserve that can be done in three ways. The first is regular physical activity, to increase the blood supply to your brain. Secondly, engaging in and maintaining an active, busy and diverse lifestyle throughout your life will provide the comprehensive cognitive stimulation that promotes good brain fitness. And finally, following a regular brain training that targets many areas of the brain will provide the kind of brain training that creates an effective cognitive buffer against the symptoms of AD.
