Detailed explanation-1: -Research from 2015 suggests art forms such as drawing and painting directly benefit your brain by enhancing creativity and improving cognitive abilities. Artistic pursuits can also help create new pathways and strengthen existing connections in your brain, leading to better cognitive function overall.

Detailed explanation-2: -Learning something new, in other words, is the only way to get your brain into the habit of building new neural connections. Imagination counts, too–in order to imagine something new, your brain still has to create new connections. Reading Game of Thrones, for instance, can likewise make your brain more plastic.

Detailed explanation-3: -When you learn something, you have electrical activity going through different circuits. Those electrical impulses change the strength of specific connections, making them either stronger or weaker. For example, if you learn that “hola” means “hello” in Spanish, certain synapses will become stronger.

Detailed explanation-4: -Use a mnemonic device. It’s easier to remember things that relate to knowledge we already have because we connect it to what we already have stored in our memory, Potts says. That’s why mnemonic devices work-they create a bridge between two pieces of information.
