i believe it helps... but in order to really make yourself smarter... u've got to be doing more... more than just playing the DS =)according to a few articles i've been reading, it does trains the brain of brain, the frontal lobe of the brain where it controls the rest of the brain. so in theory, it works... then again... tats the reason y BrainAge opens up new practice as u progress, once u get used to the training( by memorizing everything ) u continue to move on to others... memorizing the puzzles are good for your brain too!

They don't exactly make you "smarter", but they will help you to more easily learn about other things and get your brain functioning for the rest of the day...

What IS smart?They train your ability to solve common, logic problems faster. It's no different than learning to juggle or something, you'll get faster and better at it. Does it make you smarter? I don't think that defines being smart, so no, it only trains one of many things you can do.

I don't believe it will exactly make you SMARTER, but it does help you to use your brain to think faster, so that you're able to do problems and solve them quicker.

i think its just to keep your brain active, not to make it smarter but to prevent it from getting dumber.

Doesn't make you "smarter" on large scale but help to keep the shape and invoke past knowledge and simple matematical questions to improve the agility and speed how you can manage the most complex ones ( remember always practice the basic ), helps memorizing with association, schematical organization and stuff. But the concept "smarter" that people is talking about is about Qi or IQ, so is anotehr topic. Brain Age is productive like you ake an old amthematic excersise book, adn read, will help you, indeed.

if you go to the gym you get in better shape. If you exercise your brain it works better 
It's proved that for example the exercise of learning and doing Math improves the brain in other scientific areas. It also helps you don't get lazy

It just keeps your brain active, which apparently has been proven to stave off mental illness. Although I wish it would make me smarter, I could use the help
