Neuroplasticity
Neuroplasticity is the change in neural pathways and synapses that occurs due to certain factors, like behavior, environment, or neural processes. During such changes, the brain engages in synaptic pruning, deleting the neural connections that are no longer necessary or useful, and strengthening the necessary ones.
Fifty years ago, neuroscientists thought that a mature brain was fixed like a fly in amber, unable to change. Today, we know that our brains and nervous systems change throughout our lifetimes. This concept of neuroplasticity has captured the imagination of a public eager for self-improvement and has inspired countless Internet entrepreneurs who peddle dubious "brain training" games and apps.
Get proven strategies on how to rebuild, rewire and feed your brain
In recent years the way in which our brain can constantly create new neurons, and new neural pathways, has been shown to have some astounding affects. From 'miraculous' cures for those with brain injuries, to staving off cognitive decline in our later years.
And much much more
This book looks at the simple techniques that have been shown to aid the neuroplasticity process and provides a simple, common sense guide for implementing those techniques.
Our brain actually has the power to rebuild itself, stronger, faster and better then it was before - get the roadmap on how to reinvent yourself
