NeuroPlasticity: what is it?
Neuroplasticity is defined as the brain's ability to change and adapt its different neural connections according to our environment, our learning, our values and our personality. By reorganizing and stimulating the creation of new connections between our billions of neurons, brain plasticity allows our brain to be more efficient and to integrate each new experience.
