This means when you use your brain to complete a task, the brain “remembers” the task, so next time it becomes a little easier. The brain is a “pattern-seeking device.” When the neurons in your brain are activated in a particular pattern, it’s faster and easier for your brain to follow that same pattern in the future. Like a physical muscle, the brain gets stronger the more you use it. However, research has shown that the brain continues to change even into old age. After that, scientists believed that the brain “solidified” and became fixed in its habits. Until recently, scientists thought that this was only possible in early childhood. Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to change and grow throughout a person’s life. Let’s start by making sure you understand the basics.
