"Recovery is possible, rewiring the brain is possible."
"Our brain can rewire itself in response to new learning or in response to damage."
"The harder you try, the more motivated, the more alert, the potential outcome, the bigger the brain change."
"It's amazing how much your brain can change when you decide to live more simply."
"Learning can change a change. It can change the structure of the brain."
"Even if you don't pass the exam, it doesn't really matter because when you learn for an exam, you actually change your brain in a positive way."
"The brain is extremely plastic. The environment, like training functions or negative events, can change a brain."
"Our brains are incredibly plastic, they're malleable, they change if you learn how to do something new, anything, anything."
"I want to have the best brain plasticity of like any human."
"All learning alters the brain, whether it's automatic or not."
"We learn all across a lifetime. But from the end of the critical period to the end of life, the brain controls its self-development, its plasticity."
"The brain of the adolescent is much more plastic than the brain of an adult."
"...so, if you're an adult and your brain is built a certain way, then the foundational functions of the brain, they can only change so fast..."
"Your brain can change with practice. Mindfulness meditation has been shown to produce minute structural changes in brain areas related to attention, self-awareness, and compassion."
"Repeated patterns of neural activity leave lasting traces behind, like water coming down a hillside. That means fundamentally as a takeaway, you have the power inside yourself every minute of everyday to use your mind, to change your brain, to change your mind for the better."
"Learning is not a mental process but a physical one, a process whereby you literally and physically grow new brain connections."
"If you stay in this red area, that is the area that makes your brain change for the better."
"Now you're taking neurons from the damaged side of the brain and reallocating those resources over to the uninjured side of the brain."
"Neuroplasticity: Your brain is always changing and growing."
"BDNF, often referred to as the fertilizer for the brain, promotes the growth of new connections between brain cells, enhancing our brain's plasticity and facilitating learning, problem-solving, and creativity."
"Learning is highly linked to neuroplasticity, the nervous system's potential for change."
"Brain plasticity isn't just for people that have big problems. Brain plasticity is actually for everyone."
"Continual practice of gradually increasing difficulty is necessary to drive positive plastic changes in the brain."
"The point that I'm making here is that those parents approached me in the early days of my research where I was trying to understand hey there's more we can drive our mind we can change our brain there's hope here it's not a fixed thing there's damage but there's hope."
"Psychedelics reopen these critical periods of plasticity or just generally open windows of plasticity."
"The capacity of the brain to change itself as a function of how we engage it is a tremendous gift."
"Neuroplasticity has been the most exciting advance in Neuroscience in the last few decades."
