"You are the architect of your brain." Meme
Source: Growth Mindset Cats.
I came across this meme Laura made and I proceeded to read the post that came along with it. There was some really interesting concepts brought up by the images so I wanted to share them in this post. The brain is very flexible and how it works is largely unknown to researchers, yet we are still trying to uncover its secrets.
It seems that as we grow older, the synapses that are unused are lost. Thus, if we don't use some neurons of our brain, we lose the pathway that it sends information to! However, neurogenesis can happen up until we're 72 years old (WOW. Most people don't even survive that long.) You can always learn something new or restructure your brain. DON'T EVER GIVE UP.
