The topic is in the news each day. What does neuroplasticity mean, and how can I apply it to improve brain health ? Is it right that new neurons are born in the adult brain?
Let me address those questions, and more, with these Top Ten Quotes on Lifetime Brain Plasticity and Neurogenesis:
1. „Neuroplasticity refers to the lifetime capacity of the brain to modify and rewire itself responding to the enlivenment of learning and experience. Neurogenesis is the ability to create new neurons and connections between neurons through a lifetime.“ (Highlighted and shared by 24 Kindle readers)
2. „best defenses against lingering stress are exercise, relaxation, self-empowerment, and cultivating social networks.“
3. „Learning is assumed to be „neuro-protective.“ Thru neuroplasticity, learning increases connections between neurons, increases cellular metabolism, and increases the production of nerve growth factor, a substance produced by the body to help maintain and repair neurons.“
4. „There is not one single „attention“, but three separate functions of attention: alerting, orienting, and executive attention.“
5. „The fear of failing, the fear of looking not smart, is a key hurdle to learning that I see too frequently, particularly with folk who want to protect understood reps to such an extent that they don't let themselves try new learning cycles.“
6. „Emotion is the system that tells us how important something is. Attention focuses us on the critical and away from the unimportant things. Cognition tells us what to do about it. Cognitive talents are whatever is needed to do those things.“
7. „As small as three hours a week of brisk walking has been shown to stop, and even reverse, the brain atrophy (shrinkage) that starts in a person’s 40's, particularly in the regions answerable for memory and higher cognition. Exercise increases the brain’s volume of grey matter (actual neurons) and white matter.
8. „Evidence of neuroplasticity has been noted mostly in the brains of people who became professionals in a selected ability. Why? Because changes associated with learning occur when we become expert in a specific domain. The areas of the brain that support the skills at which one has become an expert change over time.“
9. „Current suggestions suggest that a brain-healthy life style should include at least balanced nourishment, anxiety management, physical exercise, and brain exercise.“
10. „it is also important to maintain emotional connections. Not only with ourselves, to have self confidence and self confidence, but also with our family our friends.“ Sleep and health conditions are other factors that also matter. Here we focus on the four main pillars of brain health: Balanced nutrition Stress management, Physical exercise, behavior therapy stimulation. „.
