Neuroplasticity Essay

1133 words
Abstract As the human body goes through different experiences, the brain grows, develops, and changes according to the environmental situations it has been exposed to. Some of these factors include drugs, stress, hormones, diets, and sensory stimuli. [1] Neuroplasticity can be defined as the ability of the nervous system to respond to natural and abnormal stimuli experienced by the human body. The nervous system then reorganizes the brain’s structure and changes some of its function to theoretically repair itself by forming new neurons. [2] Neuroplasticity can occur during and in response to many different situations that occur throughout life. Some examples of these situations are learning, diseases, and going through therapy after an injury. …show more content…
Certain changes to the brain that are experienced more within young brains, tend to be more adaptive and responsive to situations that an older brain tends to be more maladaptive to. Neuroplasticity happens most in the first years of life and decreases as the human body ages. Children are more likely to recover at faster rates from head injuries than adults. It has been shown that they can recover their brain functions faster due to neuroplasticity. There are four types of neuroplasticity in children; adaptive, excessive, plasticity, and adaptive. Plasticity makes the brain virtually vulnerable to injury. Adaptive neuroplasticity is the changes that allow children to have special skills and to adapt to them. Impaired neuroplasticity occurs when genetic disorders change molecular pathways. Excessive neuroplasticity can lead to disabilities and seizures because the brain is not meant to change too often. [4] As the human body ages, it has been found that there is more of a maladaptive function which negatively impacts the brain and the body.[5] Margaret Kennard came up with a principle called the Kennard principle. This principle states that the younger the brain is, the more likely it is that it will be able to recover from trauma.[6] The Kennard Principle also can be argued against because of the fact that preterm infants have the probability of possessing numerous mental

- Human Brain Essayexplanatory essayThe brain is an astonishing product of evolution. This can be seen by our numerous technological developments and society structure. The brain has always been the most important organ for species that had developed past the cellular stage and has always performed the same functions that it does now but has developed constantly to where it is now through growth and a reorganization of its’ primary functions and gained the ability to learn has been something that the human brain does better than other brains. Our brains have not always been like this and many social and biological factors have led us to where they are now.

Neuroplasticity, or brain plasticity, is the brain's ability to reorganize neural pathways based on new experiences. (1) Simply put, every day we experience and learn new things. In order to incorporate this new information into our brains, the brain must reorganize the way it processes that information. Thus, as we learn things, the brain changes.

It can occur on many levels ranging from small scale effects, like cellular changes, to grand scale effects, like cortical remapping. (Wiki?) A consequence of this effect is that brain activity associated with a specific function can move to a different area of the brain to make up for the deficiency in a particular function. This process is thought to occur normally throughout the brain and recently, it has been thought to occur in response to brain injury as well. Researchers are interested in the differential involvement of brain regions and the alteration of cortical networks due to these injuries (slob paper). Due to the inability to create new neurons in the brain, researchers have proposed a hypothesis that synaptic networks re-organize based on the task and previous experience to meet task demands. This paper explores the hypothesis that persons with TBI recruit additional cerebral resources, the process of cortical rearrangement, to meet demands placed on the brain.

Injury, disease or abnormal structure of the brain will greatly affect one's behaviour, emotional regulation, mental processes and functioning. The brain will respond to any trauma, injury or abnormality to accommodate the dysfunction. During this response, the brain will physically change, the process called neuroplasticity, and attempt to "rewire" the brain to return to normal functioning. In the treatment of many cases as previously discussed, the aim was to reconnect neurons and the theory of neuroplasticity was the foundation behind it.

The functional unit of the nervous system is a neuron. It is estimated 100 billion neurons reside in the brain with some neurons making anywhere between 10,000 to 100,000 connections with other cells! A distinctive class of neurons, mirror neurons discharge both when the individual executes a motor action and when he/she observes another individual performing that same or similar action. These mirror neurons were discovered by neurophysiologists in the 1990s at the University of Parma, Italy. Using macaque monkeys, these researchers found that neurons of the rostral part of the inferior premotor cortex were activated both when the monkey made goal-directed hand movements (grasping, holding, & tearing) and when the monkey observed specific hand movements done by the experimenters (Pellegrino, et al., 1992). In a monkey’s inferior frontal and inferior parietal cortex, it is estimated that about 10% of neurons have “mirror” properties.

The main parts are the Frontal lobe, Central sulcus, Parietal lobe, Occipital lobe, Cerebellum, Temporal lobe, Sylvian fissure. Each of these parts are responsible for the various movements one does, the thinking process, memory and many other functions. For example the Frontal Lobe can be associated with reasoning, planning, parts of speech, movement, emotions, and problem solving. When one of these parts are damaged and/or not functioning properly, this could lead to a Neurological disorder. But the brain can constantly adjust to new situations or diseases by making new internal connections this is known as plasticity. The brain also has two main cells which carry out all the information and are vital one functioning properly....

717 wordsRead More - What Is Brain Plasticity?analytical essayAccording to Berlucci and Butchel (2009), plasticity describes an alteration in neural organization. Plasticity may be to blame for several types of behavior changes both short-term and permanent, such as growth, learning, injury, aging, and adaption to various settings. While several authors have attempted to more appropriately define the term, researchers are inclined to relate the theory to essentially any deviation found within the nervous system. Today, the method of behavior change can mostly likely be described by the alteration of synaptic transmission amongst neurons.

Through stimulus, the brain can strengthen certain neural pathways until eventually that behaviour becomes the new default pathway your brain takes. As the neurons in our brains fire when we perform a specific task, it strengthens that neural pathway and after they have done this enough times it rewires the brain. This in essence is our experiences changing our brain. Changing your brain doesn’t have to be anything extreme.
