As a result of learning, the brain changes. Neuroplasticity does not tell us how to learn better or what pedagogical techniques work best for effective learning. To do that, you need to go one step further — to cognitive science or psychology. To strengthen recall, it is essential to present complementary visual and linguistic information together...

Neuroplasticity, the brain’s capacity to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections, is central to modern neuroscience. Once believed to occur only during early development, research now shows that plasticity continues throughout the lifespan, supporting learning, memory, and recovery from injury or disease. Substantial progress has been... See more

But here's the thing, this is a good news/bad news situation because there are two types of neuroplasticity: positive and maladaptive.

Neuroplastic changes are created in response to stimuli and activity, or lack thereof. In stroke recovery, we want to facilitate positive neuroplasticity, aka the creation of new pathways and cortical reorganization... See more
