7 Strategies for Increasing Your "Neuroplasticity"
Intensive navigation training enlarges hippocampus grey matter, demonstrating lifelong neuroplasticity that improves memory, learning, adaptation, and resilience against cognitive decline.
The amygdala generates theta rhythms signaling safety while the hippocampus links safety learning to specific contexts, showing extinction builds a competing safety representation rather than erasing fear.
The hippocampus creates mental maps crucial for navigation, while the parahippocampal cortex distills visual scenes into actionable paths, integrating sensory input seamlessly.
