Cognitive decline
Cognitive decline is a normal part of ageing, but it can also be caused by certain medical conditions or injuries. A decline in cognitive function can have a significant impact on daily life, leading to problems with memory, thinking and problem-solving. There are, however, ways to maintain and improve cognitive function, such as regular exercise, a healthy diet and mentally stimulating activities. It is also important to see a doctor if you are worried about cognitive decline.

As human beings, we are able to communicate with one another, to acquire new knowledge, to remember events and much more besides.
We owe all this to our cognitive functions, which are essential to the way we function, such as:
- intellectual functions
- executive functions
- visuospatial functions
- language functions
- attention
- memory
- gnosis
- praxis
- information processing speed
As we age, these cognitive functions age too, leading to cognitive changes that are normal and common. As we grow older, our cells no longer regenerate in the same way, which leads to psychomotor slowing: movements become slower and less supple. Complex tasks also become harder to carry out, and our neural capacities decline over time as well.
But sometimes a person is not simply going through normal ageing, but has a cognitive disorder.
When a mild cognitive disorder sets in, there is a progressive decline in cognitive abilities in one or more areas, but the person remains independent. A major cognitive disorder, on the other hand, affects the person's independence, leaving them unable to manage everyday tasks.
Cognitive disorders can have a number of causes, such as head injury, stroke, malnutrition or eating disorders, depression or multiple sclerosis.
Are there ways of tackling these cognitive disorders and regenerating the brain's abilities?
Yes, these abilities can be regenerated, through the regeneration of cells. This is what we offer with our Activate Brain headset. Contrary to popular belief, the plasticity of the human brain allows neurogenesis. This can be brought about by the infrared light the headset shines on the skull. In particular, it improves cognitive and emotional functioning, short-term memory and attention.
Infrared light has many benefits to offer, so don't wait any longer: book an appointment!
