Let’s start the discussion with the question: What is neuroplasticity? Well, in fact, neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to change and adapt due to life experiences. Thus, according to the authors Deepak Chopra& Rudolph E. Tanzi. “Your brain is remodeling itself right now. It doesn’t take an injury to trigger the process - being alive is enough. You can promote neuroplasticity, moreover, by exposing yourself to new experiences. Even better is to deliberately set out to learn new skills. If you show passion and enthusiasm, all the better” In the picture below is represented the development of the neurons in the brain of a rat, depending on the environment in which the rat grows and lives. (A) representative neuron in the brain of a rat reared in a normal environment. (B and C) In enriched environments, the neurons grow more extensive arborization. (D, E, and F) In deprived environments the dendrites shrink to the point of total disappearance.Fig. Neurons in the brain of a rat In this context, the neuroplasticity can result from the following psychological aspects emotion and social interaction. There are some negative psychological aspects of neuroplasticity: 1. learning: brain learns whatever is repeated both helpful and unhelpful thoughts, actions, and habits. 2. stress: the brain is neutral it doesn’t know the difference between good and bad. 3. traumatic events: neuroplasticity may entrench depressive, anxious, obsessive, and over-reactive patterns. Also, there are some positive psychological aspects of neuroplasticity: 1. The exercise makes your brain resilient. 2. When you Pay Attention in many cases, you can also overcome depression, addiction, obsessive compulsive patterns, ADHD, and other issues. 3. Through new experiences you can learn new ways of being and responding to conflict. Without a doubt, it is important to encourage your brain to adapt and change, at any age. So, practice, mindfulness, because it entails completely immersing your mind in the present moment, without ruminating over the past or contemplating the future. Awareness of the sights, sounds, and sensations around you is okay. Many studies have shown that cultivating and practicing mindfulness can foster the brain’s neuroplasticity. Moreover, traveling and exploring new places, reading, or learning how to play an instrument increase the level of neuroplasticity. The benefits of psychotherapy are connected with the goal to help people examine distressing feelings and experience and redirect them into more functional patterns, restoring cognitive and behavioural flexibility. As a result, brain gain resilience. In conclusion, let’s take a look at some key points about psychological aspects of the brain’s neuroplasticity. First, neuroplasticity is a phenomenon that refers to the fact that the brain is changing not just in childhood, but also in adulthood, throughout the life. Thus, these changes include anatomical changes like growth of new neurons but also functionally through neural networks and cognitive activity. In the present day, neuroplasticity is a widely accepted brain process and is harnessed by researchers and therapists alike to promote healthy development and brain function. Second, the neuroplasticity examples that fascinate researchers include: language learning, acquiring new skills and experiences, cognitive rehabilitation, music, exercise and more! Therefore, neuroplasticity is strongly related to the field of cognitive and neuropsychology. Studies have shown that young adults who exercise have many cognitive advances, like improved performance in life.
