I did not post this earlier, but there is some belief that learning a musical instrument on a regular basis will help improve the nerve connections across several parts of the brain and improve the brain efficiency - because music learning involves coordination between various parts of the body, using the feet, eyes, ears, memory while keeping up with a metronome or an orchestra. The corpus callosum which is the bridge between both the left and right sides of the brain is strengthened. This supposedly helps to increase processing speed eventually.
Another thing that I have heard is that regular cardio exercise increases brain functioning. I am going to hear Dr John Ratey speak on this topic soon and I look forward to learning about this. http://sparkinglife.org/page/add-adhd
