It&rsquo;s not a metaphor, it&rsquo;s a literal physical restructuring of brain tissue.</p> <div style="background-color: #fff; padding: 1rem 0;"> <img src="https://khalid9assi.com/imgs/neurplasticity-graph.png" style="width: 986px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; height: auto" alt="Analytics"loading="lazy" > </div> <p>The three mechanisms are :</p> <ul> <li>Synaptogenesis : building new synaptic connections</li> <li>Pruning : eliminating pathways you don&rsquo;t use</li> <li>Myelination : brain wraps the pathways you use most in a protective layer, making signals travel faster. The more you repeat something, the quicker and smoother that connection becomes.</li> </ul> <p><strong>How to drive neuroplasticity</strong></p>
