Neuroplasticity Video “Neuroplasticity” by Sentis (2: 03): https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=ELpf. YCZa 87 g What is neuroplasticity? How does neuroplasticity work? How can you “rewire” your brain?

Neuroplasticity Brain plasticity, also known as neuroplasticity or cortical remapping. Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to change and adapt as a result of experience. Modern research has demonstrated that the brain continues to create new neural pathways and alter existing ones in order to adapt to new experiences, learn new information and create new memories.

Your Brain Is Malleable In a study with rats, researchers put some rats in empty cages and others in stimulating cages with puzzles and other rats. The rats in the stimulating environments were smarter, and their brains were denser, more interconnected and even weighed more! Step out of your comfort zone to do new things and stick to them (GRIT). The neurons in your brain could form new connections, stronger connections, and over time, you can get smarter!

Intelligent Practice = 1. Hard work + 2. Strategies + 3. Help from others
