How Does Neuroplasticity Work? [Infographic]

189 Comments

When neuroscience began to discover more about the brain’s remarkable ability to change, it opened up new ways of thinking about our work with patients.By harnessing the power of neuroplasticity, we can help patients think more clearly, learn more easily, develop greater focus, and manage reactive emotions. And that can help them find new ways to respond to a wide range of conditions including brain injury, stroke, learning disabilities, traumatic experiences, depression, and anxiety. But neuroplasticity involves a number of complex processes, and it can be a difficult concept to convey to patients. Want to teach your clients about neuroplasticity? Give them this: @RuthBuczynski Click To Tweet So we created this as a way for you to help patients understand how neuroplasticity works. Because if the brain can change, your patients’ lives can change.

    This is so helpful! I’m an SLP and I specialize in providing cognitive therapy to people who have had brain injuries, primarily concussions. I love the concept of neuroplasticity and I think it will be really helpful to explain this and/or provide the diagram.

    A suggestion for your graphic:
    Neuroplasticity is stimulated by something… not a “result” of something…

    I am going to use this diagram both with my clients and to remind myself and my family the importance of practicing positive thoughts and behaviours.
    As I read it I feel it offers hope.

    please remove the graphic that says you can “overcome” ADHD. That is nonsense.

        I would LOVE to have the opportunity to re-plasticize my ADHD brain!! With 30 years of sobriety in AA I am so ready for this challenge and opportunity. I have the gift of gratitude that has been significant in my journey. More shame around my ADHD than I thought was possible.
        I am 73 and anxiety still locks doors I want to open for self and others.

    This is great! I will use this to explain to my athletes how they can learn/improve skills by concentrating on good form, for a healthy number of repetitions.

    I am a dyslexia tutor. This explains to parents that the brain CAN be trained and reshaped with systematic and intense instruction.
