Neuroplasticity refers to your brain’s ability to absorb information and evolve to manage new challenges. It’s a natural gift that allows you to develop as a person and take on the ever-changing tasks of daily life. “Neuroplasticity speaks to the flexibility and adaptability of our brain throughout our life,” explains Dr. Tworek. “It’s how we grow as people.” So, when you memorize the alphabet as a kiddo, that’s an example of neuroplasticity in action at a young age. Ditto for when you learn how to drive and navigate the streets in your neighborhood. Even something as simple as remembering the name of a new coworker involves brainwork that falls under the umbrella of neuroplasticity. Now here’s where things get really nifty: Neuroplasticity actually brings physical changes inside your cranium. In essence, your brain undergoes a sort of rewiring while learning from your experiences. “Morphological alterations and structural changes occur within our brains,” says Dr. Tworek. “New synaptic connections form between the billions of neurons in your brain as you take in information. It’s a constant process.” Taken from: What Is Neuroplasticity? How It Works at Cleveland Clinic
