Neuroplasticity

Scientists once thought the brain stopped developing after the first few years of life. But new research has shown that the brain can form new neural pathways and create neurons even in adulthood.
Every minute of every day, your body is physically reacting, literally changing, in response to the thoughts that run through your mind.
We used to believe our brains couldn’t be changed. Now we believe they can – if we want it enough. But is that true?
This leading neuroengineer thinks it's dangerous to even try.
Given advances in imaging technology, we now know that the brain is affected by every experience, thought and emotion.
