How does training for better brain function help?
Better brain function raises the threshold for symptom expression. This is the case for the degenerative conditions, where brain-training may be able to move a person to the point where symptoms of dementia or Parkinson’s may no longer be obtrusive, or they may be significantly reduced. This may also be a way of understanding efficacy for seizure disorder or migraine. The seizure focus remains, and migraine susceptibility may remain as well. But brain stability may have been enhanced to the point where neither occurs any more, or where incidence has been substantially reduced. Better brain function eliminates the condition in question. This is our model for ADHD, for example, which is characterized behaviorally and for which no organic test exists. Better brain function in the attentional and behavioral realm may mean that the person at issue can no longer be diagnosed with the condition. The essence of ADHD is the disregulation of attentional function and of behavioral inhibition; imp
