In the adult human nervous system is gaded, meaning it is controlled by nermodulators. These things that we talked about earlier, dopa, men, seratonan and one in particular called aseta colin, are what open up plasticity. They literally unveil plasticity and allow brief periods of time in which whatever thing we're sensing or perceiving or thinking can literally be mapped in the brain such that later it will become much easier for us to experience and feel that thing. This has a dark side and a positive side. The dark side is it's actually very easy to get neural plasticity as an adult through tramatic or terrible or challenging experiences.
