Focus Max Although scientists had long since dismissed the idea that the adult brain could grow and change, research from the last few years overturns that theory with studies proving quite the opposite. The right conditions can cause the production of new neural nerve cells and the brain in fact proves to be remarkably adept at rewiring connections work more effectively with the right training. (The concept of brain plasticity is even being applied in new therapies for stroke victims, restoring motor capabilities that traditional therapies could not.)Vinpocetine helps in increasing the blood flow in the brain and thus stimulates brain activity. It also has neuroprotective effects and is used as drugs and is used for cerebrovascular disorders and also for memory problems.
