  2. Chronic stress, for example, has been shown in studies to have a negative impact. And a healthy diet, regular exercise, and good sleep habits have been shown to have a positive effect.

  3. Neuronal sprouting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuronal_sprouting

    For example, in certain neurodegenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease, abnormal sprouting of neurons may contribute to the spread of the disease and further neuronal death. Therefore, while neural sprouting is an important form of neuroplasticity , it is a complex process that can have both positive and negative effects, depending ...

  4. Neuroplasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroplasticity

    Neuroplasticity, also known as neural plasticity or just plasticity, is the ability of neural networks in the brain to change through growth and reorganization. . Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to reorganize and rewire its neural connections, enabling it to adapt and function in ways that differ from

  5. Hebbian theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebbian_theory

    The weight between two neurons increases if the two neurons activate simultaneously, and reduces if they activate separately. Nodes that tend to be either both positive or both negative at the same time have strong positive weights, while those that tend to be opposite have strong negative weights.

  7. Neurobiological effects of physical exercise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurobiological_effects_of...

    Neuroplasticity is the process by which neurons adapt to a disturbance over time, and most often occurs in response to repeated exposure to stimuli. [27] Aerobic exercise increases the production of neurotrophic factors [note 1] (e.g., BDNF, IGF-1, VEGF) which mediate improvements in cognitive functions and various forms of memory by promoting blood vessel formation in the brain, adult ...

  8. Perceptual narrowing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceptual_narrowing

    Perceptual narrowing is a developmental process during which the brain uses environmental experiences to shape perceptual abilities. This process improves the perception of things that people experience often and causes them to experience a decline in the ability to perceive some things to which they are not often exposed.

  9. Activity-dependent plasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activity-dependent_plasticity

    Activity-dependent plasticity is a form of functional and structural neuroplasticity that arises from the use of cognitive functions and personal experience. [1] Hence, it is the biological basis for learning and the formation of new memories.
