What is Neuroplasticity?

Here is a simplified answer -

Neuroplasticity is like your brain’s superpower for learning and changing. Imagine your brain as a huge map with roads connecting different places. Every time you learn something new - like riding a bike, solving a math problem, or remembering a friend’s name - your brain builds or strengthens a new road or pathway to make it easier to do that thing next time.

Sometimes, if we don’t use a road for a long time, it can get weaker. But when we practice something, like playing a new game or learning an instrument, those roads get really strong and help us get better and faster at it. Even if something hard or scary happens, neuroplasticity lets our brain make new paths to help us heal and learn new ways to feel better. So, neuroplasticity is your brain’s amazing ability to grow, change, and get better all the time!
