Brain Growth Research!
Learning Languages:
Most people think that learning a second language once you are an adult is very hard. But researchers had adults use special exercises to practice hearing the sounds from other languages. Using a PET scan to measure the activity in the brain, the researchers found that areas of their brain never used before became active, and they were able to say and understand the sounds. This shows that you can retrain your brain even as an adult.

Musical Mastery:
When people play an instrument, they use a special area of the brain to coordinate the movement of their fingers. Researchers found that when people practiced playing an instrument, the area of the brain that controls the fingers grew larger! This shows that when you learn and practice a new skill, you can build up that area of the brain.
