The brain's ability to adapt and form new neural connections allows it to recover from injury and maintain cognitive function into old age. Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to adapt and ...

Neuroplasticity, or brain plasticity, can be defined as the ability of the nervous system to alter its activity in response to a stimulus by reorganizing its structure, function, and neuronal ...

Neuroplasticity. The word has become a buzzword in the field of neuroscience. Neuroplasticity refers to the moldability and changeability of the brain. Decades ago, scientists thought that the adult ...

About a decade ago, neuroscientists at the University College London published some fascinating research on the brain size and structure of London taxi drivers. In short: the cabbies’ brains were ...

My patient, Derek,* is a high-achiever. Like many high achieving individuals, he struggles under the weight of his own high expectations. He assumes that being harsh toward himself and always ...

When it comes to defining neuroplasticity, there’s a little quiz that neuroscientist Sandra Bond Chapman, Ph.D., likes to pose. Think about how much control you have over changing the health of your ...

This post was co-authored by Justin James Kennedy, Ph.D., D.Prof. and Faye Cormick. Neuroscience plays a role in coaching, education, and therapy, specifically focusing on neuroplasticity—the brain’s ...

The human brain generates up to 700 new neurons per day in the hippocampus alone, which raises the question: Can this capacity be intentionally enhanced? Neuroplasticity is no longer just a recovery ...
