Neuroplasticity

We used to believe our brains couldn’t be changed. Now we believe they can—if we want it enough. But is that true?

New research finds neural changes not only reflecting increased technical capacities, but also enhanced creativity.

You’ve heard to start studying foreign languages (and music and reading and memorization skills and more) at a young age, when your brain is better prepared to retain that information. New research suggests a drug typically used to combat epilepsy and bipolar disorder could help us retain that skill even as we age.
