Neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to change and adapt, both in behavior and in its actual structure. It was once thought that the adult brain could not change, but recent research has shown that this is not the case. Studies have shown that efficient neuroplastic methods can positively affect all 17 aspects of the brain that change negatively in aging. Neuroplasticity is important for healthy and efficient aging, as well as maintaining a clear and functioning mind throughout adulthood.
