Neuroplasticity

Written by tragic.sense — August 13, 2021

New mental skills can be acquired with intentional effort, with focused awareness and concentration.

Experience activates neural firing, which in turn leads to the production of proteins that enable new connections to be made among neurons, in the process called neuroplasticity.

Neuroplasticity is possible throughout the lifespan, not just in childhood.

Besides focused attention, other factors that enhance neuroplasticity include aerobic exercise, novelty, and emotional arousal.
