The brain lives in a state of constant flux.
It repeatedly adjusts itself to enhance our mental performance while juggling millions of incoming signals.
Brain cell activity can be divided into two categories – plasticity and stability.
Plasticity refers to the brain’s ability to change.
As we gain new information, we form new connections between neurons.
Younger children have a high level of “neural plasticity.”
But as we get older, the brain’s ability to make new connections naturally decreases.
Neural plasticity goes down.
That means some neurons didn’t participate.
It all has to do with training our brains to recognize patterns and engage our neurons.
He also stresses that during any learning process, there will be ups and downs.
In fact, brain activity data of the study subjects indicated large variations in learning success.
But when things get tough, the key is to remain motivated.
