Neural plasticity is arguably one of the most important aspects of our biology. It holds the promise for each and all of us to think differently, to learn new things, to forget painful experiences, and to essentially adapt to anything that life brings us by becoming better. So let's get ...
At-Home Workouts to Improve Balance, Mobility and Strength in Your 60s and Beyond 2. Keep Learning New Things "The capacity for learning continues throughout life," Walf says. "Exercising the brain by learning new skills and knowledge helps to promote brain plasticity and cognitive function." I...
Gotu kola is well regarded for its ability toimprove circulation. This is important because maintaining optimal brain circulation is one of the most important things you can do to keep your brain healthy and fit. A steady and sufficient flow of blood to the brain delivers life-giving oxygen an...
A critical part of this process is myelination, in which the myelin sheath—a protective coating around nerve fibers—thickens to improve the speed and efficiency of neural signals. This process ensures that the new pathways become permanent and robust, enabling long-term learning and adaptabilit...
For instance, meditation has been found to improve stability in the ventral posteromedial cortex (vPMC), which is related to mind-wandering and impulsive thoughts. [11] Another study by Harvard Neuroscientist Sara Lazar found that meditation increased the size of several brain regions,...
Collectively, these initiatives—and countless others—contribute to the advancement of our knowledge and pave the way for targeted interventions and treatments to improve outcomes for individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders. 4.2. Adolescent neural urbanome Accurately measuring the physical environment is...
How to improve foraging efficiency for restocking measures of juvenile Baltic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus)48 Sturgeons (Acipenseridae) were once native in all major rivers of the Northern 49 Hemisphere, but over the last 100 years, they have shown a drastic decline due to fishing, 50 habitat...
Good memory retention depends in part on your ability to focus. What are some techniques you can use to improve your memory? How can you avoid the tricks your brain can play on you? How are memories formed and retained and how is information transferred?
The best part about this is that, with regard to plasticity, your brain benefits from all learning equally. Your motivation to increase your neuroplasticity may be to improve your performance at work, but what you learn doesn’t have to be related to your job to achieve that. You could ...
