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 ...
How to Increase Neuroplasticity Recent studies suggest that simple lifestyle changes may be able to increase the brain’s neuroplasticity. Of course, neuroplasticity is an ever-changing field of research, and there’s a lot that we don’t know yet. But three strategies for increasing neuroplastici...
How to increase neuroplasticity How does visual memory work? How long does neuroplasticity last? 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?

Later, in the 1600s, Giordano Bruno would revise ars combinatoria in a big way, and you can use a memory wheel in a simple way to think better: There are many more thinking tools like this that will increase your intelligence if you explore them. What makes them stand out in my mind...

Research examining intrinsic cortical activity fluctuations—which have been linked to neuroplasticity in animal models—suggests that sensorimotor plasticity declines from childhood to adolescence, while plasticity in association areas, especially the PFC, continues to increase until mid-adolescence (Sydnor et...

The early “anything goes” and “always-on” plasticity period comes to an end. The brain undergoes physical and chemical changes that increase the power of the plasticity “off” switch, and it begins to dominate. In other words, their brain increasingly only allows change to occur when it...
