In this lesson, you'll learn how the brain develops and changes through experience and continues throughout our lifetime into old age, 

In this lesson, you'll learn how you can change the structure of your brain so that new habits become easier to create and implement, and how “if you don’t use it, you’ll lose it.”

In addition to structural neuroplasticity, where the structure of the brain changes, there is also functional neuroplasticity where brain structure has not changed but where the brain has learned to function differently. In this lesson, you'll learn about functional neuroplasticity, whether learnings in one domain are transferable to other domains, and whether brain training works.

In this lesson, you'll learn about the limits to neuroplasticity.

We take a quick look at how bilingualism changes the brain, competitive neuroplasticity, neurogenesis meaning the growth of new neurons, a very quick look at neuroplasticity of neurotransmitters, lifestyle factors that affect neuroplasticity, and some ideas for encouraging neuroplasticity and keeping our brains agile.
