And what is your doctor doing to stimulate your brain with new ideas? Mine did absolutely nothing, probably hadn't one since childhood. This sounds like enriched environment stimulation to me.

A new University of British
Columbia study identifies an important molecular change that occurs in
the brain when we learn and remember.
Published in Nature Neuroscience, the research shows that
learning stimulates our brain cells in a manner that causes a small
fatty acid to attach to delta-catenin, a protein in the brain. This
biochemical modification is essential in producing the changes in brain
cell connectivity associated with learning, the study finds.
In animal models, the scientists found almost twice the amount of
modified delta-catenin in the brain after learning about new
environments. While delta-catenin has previously been linked to
learning, this study is the first to describe the protein’s role in the
molecular mechanism behind memory formation.
