Neuroplasticity: Change Your Brain

Neuroplasticity is the science of how your brain can change and reorganize itself. It is possible to mold yourself into the person you want to be through the right actions. By consistently changing our actions, we can form new habits that lead to lasting change. Neuroplasticity is not just a concept, but backed by scientific evidence. For example, a study on London taxi drivers showed that their brains changed as they memorized the intricate routes of the city. With time and practice, the hippocampus, the region responsible for memory and navigation, grew larger. Similar changes were observed in pianists and musicians who developed specific areas of their brain associated with their skills. This proves that change is possible, no matter who you are or what area you want to improve.
