Introduction
Neuroplasticity refers to how the nervous system changes in response to experience. The human brain can be equated to plastic; because, soft plastic can be molded into anything you desire—your brain is soft-wired it too has the ability at any age to be shaped or restructured (Merzenich, 2013). You have the power within to re-strengthen your cognitive skills in all aspects, including recovery and re-normalization; even when your brain has suffered large-scale distortions that accompany developmental or psychiatric disorders, or it has been physically damaged as a result of a negative befalls in your life (pp. 1-3). Through neurological rejuvenation your brain has the ability to transform, and reorganize itself and its functions—neuroplasticity allows adaptation to any and all experiences and changes you may encounter. …show more content…
For instance, when we form new memories or when we learn new things the brain rewires itself with each new stimulus, experience, and behavior. Although there are several endogenous chemicals the brain uses to convey information, serotonin (also referred to as one of the feel good chemicals) modifies the brain neurons to enhance a positive perception of the task at hand and plays an important role in fueling the hippocampus, the part of the brain that’s known for storing long-term memories. Therefore, when information is being encoded by the brain and a person’s state of consciousness is highly attentive, keenly focused and engaged, a synaptic neuroplasticity occurs. This is the transformation of a neuron, either it gains strength or weakens over a time span—neuroplasticity can also occur at the level of entire cells where the total number of synapses between a neuron and its target cell are changed; this is called structural neuroplasticity—either way scientist terms this as changes in the synapses that affect how information is processed and
