Dr. Michael Merzenich talks about brain plasticity and neuro plasticity and the capacity of the brain to change no matter what your age. Previously the thinking was that brains mature and the wiring is fixed for life, but that is not the case points out Dr. Merzenich. The brain is malleable says Dr. Merzenich, co-founder and chief scientist at Posit Science that makes brain training software. “We have each have a unique machine (brain) that is just made for us, “ shares Dr. Merzenich. It turns out that our brains are not fixed for life he points out. The ability to change is a life-long process.
