It used to be thought that:
- Our brains and all its neurons and connections were a fix set that we were born with.
- That our neuroverse™, all the existing cells and connections in our brains, only changed with the degeneration of disease and the degradation of old age.
- That we could only lose neurons and their connections.
We now know differently! We know that our brains are influenced by everything around us, some of which are negative neuroinfluences™ and lead to the death and destruction of nerve cells and others which are positive neuroinfluences™ and cause the birth of new neurons and the sprouting of new connections.
We know that our brains are capable of undergoing a tremendous amount of change throughout one’s life.We also know that the power to implement those changes lies within us.
The brain’s ability to change is called Neuroplasticity.
