Neuroplasticity:

The ability of the brain to change continuously throughout an individual's life

Resources from Dr. Rick Hanson

For thousands of years, philosophers, poets, mystics, and ordinary people have wondered about human experience: What is the nature of, and what causes, all those sensations, thoughts, feelings, desires, and sense of “me?”

The modern sciences of psychology and neurology have been slowly but surely establishing a body of knowledge about the mind and its relationship to the brain and the body. This emerging “science of mind” is in its infancy, and a certain humility is called for.

That said, these are very exciting times, since enough information has emerged to begin connecting some of the major dots, shedding real light on questions like these:

How might the mind and brain be connected? When the mind changes, how does the brain change, and vice versa? What is happening in my mind/brain when I feel upset? What’s going on in the mind/brain when a person is having a meaningful insight? What is the neurology of consciousness? What are scientifically-validated methods for activating the brain states that support positive mental states?
