NEUROPLASTICIDAD (II) - CHANGING YOUR MIND

Un compañero me ha pedido sí podía colgar algún video de.... "ERASE UNA VEZ LA VIDA", explicando de una manera más sencilla el concepto de neuroplasticidad.
Después de intentarlo y verme más de 10 capítulos, esto no ha podído ser...., pero creo que al final he encontrado unos videos que pueden sevir.
Están en inglés!!!!  O Dios mío... en inglés....., no os asusteís, se entiende muy bien. Es para facilitar conceptos no para liarnos más todavía.
Algunos de las explicaciones del primer video, nos las dió Cristina el otro día en clase.
Espero que os sea útil.
 
 
“Changing Your Mind”

For centuries the human adult brain has been thought to be incapable of fundamental change.  Now the discovery and growing awareness of neuroplasticity has revolutionized our understanding of the brain – and has opened the door to new treatments and potential cures for many diseases and disorders once thought incurable.

Neuroscience is past viewing the human brain as a machine, as it once did, where, if one part breaks down or doesn’t work properly, the function it performed is permanently gone, in all cases. Indeed, in just the past few years, we’ve built on our knowledge that our brains are constantly changing their structure and function and that the adult brain is not “hard-wired” but plastic – always changing. It applies even in old age – a particularly hopeful note for an aging population like ours.
 
 
 
Neuroplasticity: The brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. Neuroplasticity allows the neurons (nerve cells) in the brain to adjust their activities in response to new situations or to changes in their environment.
 
Neurorigidity: Only using our brain’s pre-wired synaptic connections (memories) without making any new connections. Living from past memories without learning new things and having new experiences. Rigidity is to process the same thoughts and to perform the same actions (keeping the brain firing in the same patterns) while expecting different results.
 
By learning new information, having new thoughts, making different choices, and taking new actions, you will create new neural-net connections. You are the creator!
