Neuroplasticity<\/em> is the quality of the brain to change function and structure when learning occurs.\u00c2\u00a0 In other words, our mental \"Neuroplasticity:experience<\/a>(s) are able to drive fundamental changes in the very structure of the brain.\u00c2\u00a0 This is an amazing discovery of The Mind and The Brain<\/a>!<\/p>\n

It has far-reaching implications.\u00c2\u00a0 One of its most astounding implications is that — rather than the brain being fixed, incapable of learning after certain critical periods in our development, the brain is flexible, capable of learning throughout the span of our lives.<\/p>\n

When learning occurs, it creates a specific neural network in the brain.\u00c2\u00a0 This brain network can be seen via functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI).\u00c2\u00a0 fMRI takes pictures of the brain.\u00c2\u00a0 These fMRI images depict the new neural network that exists after learning has occurred.\u00c2\u00a0 By repetition of the learning, the neural network will become stronger and stronger.<\/p>\n

Likewise, old, dysfunctional neural networks can be weakened.\u00c2\u00a0 This weakening occurs when we no longer repeat the old learning.\u00c2\u00a0 When we no longer repeat the old learning, the neural network associated with that specific learning becomes less vital and, over time, begins to disintegrate.<\/p>\n

Current research discoveries in Brain Science have also lead to advances in new technologies and therapies.\u00c2\u00a0 These studies demonstrate that the brain can be rewired into new neural maps.\u00c2\u00a0 This ability of the brain is called neuroplasticity.\u00c2\u00a0 This cutting research has been shown to be so powerful that it will do doubt result in other practical applications and discoveries.<\/p>\n

Psychiatrist and author, Jeffrey Schwartz, M.D., and co-author Sharon Begley have recorded the Power of Mental Force in their book, “The Mind And The Brain:\u00c2\u00a0 Neuroplasticity and the Power Of Mental Force<\/a>“.\u00c2\u00a0 In their book, Dr. Schwartz and Ms. Begley further the investigation into neuroplasticity.\u00c2\u00a0 These authors describe how Dr. Schwartz utilized neuroplasticity to help patients suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.<\/p>\n

Brain Science Research has been used to explore brain rewiring for stroke damage, depression, anxiety, and many, many more conditions.\u00c2\u00a0 These same neuroplastic changes — the ability of the brain to change its structure and its chemical make-up — occurs for each one of us!<\/p>\n

The neural networks that are created when you learn something new, allow you to change old conditioned and programmed learning — learning that may be holding you back from making your fondest dreams come true!\u00c2\u00a0 Brain science has demonstrated that these OLD neural networks can be changed, replaced by the NEW neural networks that represented healthy, goal-directed learning.<\/p>\n

We are living at an exciting time!\u00c2\u00a0 This is a time where science has shown irrefutable evidence that your brain can learn new responses … AND that the brain can be focused so as to make these changes even-more effectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
