Episode notes
Neuroplasticity Mechanisms
- Neuroplasticity allows brain change through myelination, synaptic connections, and neurogenesis.
- Myelination speeds up neural pathways, synaptic connections form new ones, and neurogenesis creates new neurons.
Boosting Neurogenesis
- Aerobic exercise and dark-skinned foods promote neurogenesis, the growth of new brain cells.
- Regular aerobic exercise increases cell turnover in the brain.
Visualization and Muscle Growth
- One group physically lifted weights, showing a 40% muscle mass increase.
- The other group only visualized lifting, resulting in a 13% increase, demonstrating mind-over-matter.
