 Neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to change continuously throughout an individual's life, resulting in changes like the alteration of gray matter in our brains, the regions responsible for concentration, emotions, impulse, sight, sound, memory, and speech. Although the developing brain exhibits a higher degree of plasticity, research has shown that the adult brain is not completely hardwired with fixed neuronal circuits. Neuroplasticity takes place through axonal sprouting, when the axons sprout new nerve innings in order to connect with other nerve cells to form new neural pathways. In order for the brain to be flexible, adaptable, and ready to learn, our brains need the compound B, D, and F, brain-derived neurotropic factor. B, D, and F is a hormone responsible for neurogenesis, the creation of new neurons, and allows neurons to connect and combine into new networks, and thus plays an important role in neuroplasticity. The more B, D, and F available, the more neural network information can take place. You can increase B, D, and F levels in your brain and improve your neuroplasticity by simply lowering your sugar intake, getting enough sleep, and increasing your intake of certain nutrients important for aiding neuroplasticity. Ultimately, neuroplasticity allows us to evolve. Whether you want to squash bad habits or create new healthy ones, you must support healthy brain plasticity.
