Neuroplasticity - Simply means the ability of brain to make and adapt by forming new connections because of certain stimulus.
It is nowadays becoming an important part of treatment protocols in the world of physiotherapy.
How do you see neuroplasticity?
How can an individual simply act on it?
informative , as i know here about neuroplasticity
Neuroplasticity can be regulated by learning and understanding new things, communicating with others, engaging in activities, etc.
It shows that growth is always possible.
Neuroplasticity can be used to overcome our Challanges and to become a better version of ourselves.
“I began a series of travels, and in the process, I met a band of brilliant scientists, at the frontiers of brain science, who had, in the late 1960s or early 1970s, made a series of unexpected discoveries. They showed that the brain changed its very structure with each different activity it performed, perfecting its circuits so it was better suited to the task at hand. If certain “parts” failed, then other parts could sometimes take over. The machine metaphor, of the brain as an organ with specialized parts, could not fully account for changes the scientists were seeing. They began to call this fundamental brain property “neuroplasticity.”
Neuro is for “neuron,” the nerve cells in our brains and nervous systems. Plastic is for “changeable, malleable, modifiable.””
This is a para form a book called The brain that changes itself by Norman Doidge M.D. (Norman Doidge is a Canadian psychiatrist, psychoanalyst)
It’s an extraordinary book about neuroplasticity, I highly recommend trying it out!!!
“Neuroplasticity has the power to produce more flexible but also more rigid behaviors—a phenomenon I call “the plastic paradox.” Ironically, some of our most stubborn habits and disorders are products of our plasticity. Once a particular plastic change occurs in the brain and becomes well established, it can prevent other changes from occurring. It is by understanding both the positive and negative effects of plasticity that we can truly understand the extent of human possibilities.”
Very well explained. Thanks for recommendation!
