Neuroplasticity - The Brain’s Secret Superpower
Manage episode 360249130 series 2993907
Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to change and adapt throughout a person's lifetime. It is the ability of the brain to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections and pathways in response to changes in the environment or new experiences. This process can occur in different ways, such as through the strengthening or weakening of existing connections between neurons, the formation of new neurons, or changes in the way that neurons communicate with each other.
Neuroplasticity is a fundamental property of the brain that allows us to learn, develop new skills, and adapt to changes in our environment. It plays an important role in many aspects of human behavior, including perception, attention, memory, language, and motor skills. Neuroplasticity is also important in the recovery from brain injuries and neurological disorders, as the brain can often compensate for damage by reorganizing its connections and functions.
