INSIGHT

Neuroplasticity's Power

  • Neuroplasticity is the nervous system's ability to change adaptively in response to experience.
  • It allows us to learn new skills, think new thoughts, and solve problems more effectively.
INSIGHT

Adult Neuroplasticity

  • Adult neuroplasticity is self-directed and requires focused attention, often accompanied by agitation and frustration.
  • This neurochemical milieu signals to neurons that change is needed for learning.
ADVICE

Learning and Rest

  • Focus your attention on what you want to learn, even if it causes agitation or frustration.
  • Prioritize deep rest, especially sleep, after focused learning for neuroplasticity to occur.
