Thinking, developing, planning, memorizing, creating… requires having good neural connections and maintaining them. Of course, with age, we learn less easily because we lose a little cerebral plasticity, especially if we lack external stimuli (work, reading, games, foreign languages, social relationships, etc.). But intellectual faculties can also deteriorate well before, if we overload the brain at the mental and psychological level: “Virtual modes of communication have accelerated the pace of life by imposing immediate responsiveness on the brain with less thinking time. I see young patients arriving who suffer from concentration and learning problems because they are no longer able to prioritize, memorize or mentally elaborate,” alerts Marie Clarence Chaigne, graduate in medicine, meditation and neuroscience. She explains that this permanent state of alertness “produces overheating of the amygdala” – an essential area for managing emotions – which then loses neuroplasticity and no longer allows us to adjust our reactivity. To remedy this, the practitioner advises to do meditation, by sitting down and focusing on breathing : “We focus our attention on the tip of the nose, where we perceive the air inhaled and exhaled, and when the mind goes into thought, we become aware of it and we concentrate again on breathing.” These back and forths between agitation and attention, “brain pumps”, she smiles, constitute a good exercise to improve attention and memory.
