If any of this sounds relevant to you, take the online test to find out how you’re performing, cognitively.
Neuroplasticity
Until more recent research findings, scientists believed the brain was “hard-wired” and that if you experienced brain disease or damaged cells through trauma, there was no way to get them back. Today we know that this isn’t true. The brain can restructure based on usage and experience.
Neuroplasticity explains your brain’s ability to rewire itself, and this can happen for a few different reasons. For example, various studies have shown a structural change in the mind for individuals who learn a second language. People that speak two languages have more grey matter density and white matter integrity. You can also find similar structural changes in people that play a musical instrument. Musician’s auditory complex can reorganize through years of experience. This skill allows them to hear sound more readily than someone who doesn’t play an instrument.
