Neuroplasticity is real. That‘s basically what happens when you recover from OCD which I did in the past year.

Very nice information.

Great job!! I have a lot of stress and think I’m poisoning my brain with high levels of cortisol.

This metaphor is confounded by several factors. Early-age self-repair is not as inhibited as the aged brain by the deterioration of the body that is supporting it, low-grade inflammation, cumulative DNA and epigenetic changes due to oxidative stress, diminishing of the filtering of cerebrospinal fluid, and depletion of neural stem cells (or their loss of ability to differentiate). TBI disrupts brain tissue, blood vessels, and neurons. By contrast, age-related degeneration often involves complex biochemical processes, like protein aggregation and tau fibrillary tangles, which are more challenging for the brain to counteract.

There are so many different variables that can be discussed when it comes to brain plasticity; unfortunately, they cannot all fit in a three minute video designed for undergraduate students. :) But to anyone who may be reading your comment and get discouraged, I would point out that there is a difference between normal, healthy aging and aging with disease; however, researchers have found even when someone is experiencing cognitive decline as they age, there are (1) evidence based ways to slow decline (e.g., aerobic exercise) and (2) evidence that some people with significant amounts of neural deterioration that were able to live their lives without significant or noticeable impairment. For anyone that would like to learn more, Rowe and Kahn's (1999) book titled Successful Aging is easy to read and based on results of the MacArthur Foundation Study of Aging in America. Additionally, here are some relevant articles: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3445265/ www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3258000/#:~:text=Vascular%20risk%20factors%20are%20well,decline%20across%20the%20age%20spectrum.

As having had a brain injury i think the brain , mine sees many events in life as bigger than they are, or as a tragerty.

THE BRAIN IS MERELY THE SERVANT TO THE HEART WHICH IS THE REAL MASTER.THE HEART LETS THE BRAIN BELIEVE THAT IT IS THE MASTER OUT OF COMPASSION BECAUSE IT KNOWS THAT IT CAN TOSS IT ASIDE AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. THE BRAIN IS ONLY AFRAID OF 1 THING,THE HEART.
