Non-dominant hand exercises: Using your non-dominant hand for everyday activities like brushing your teeth or using a mouse forces the brain to form new neural connections.While evidence from a study on cognitive functioning in older adults suggests some commercially-available brain training products can help promote healthy brain aging, researchers are still investigating the scientific claims of many programs that claim to improve cognitive function. The following examples of cognitive training may stimulate neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity research has studied long-term depression’s role in memory loss from neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s Disease and drugs that impair the prefrontal cortex, such as cocaine. Long-term depression is associated with memory and motor learning. Long-term depression: Long-term depression is the weakening of synapses that aren’t being used.Long-term potentiation is associated with learning and memory. Long-term potentiation: Long-term potentiation is the strengthening of synapses through recurring activities like studying or practicing.Synaptogenesis occurs when the brain is exposed to new environments and experiences in activities such as traveling or learning a new musical instrument.

Synaptogenesis: Synaptogenesis is the creation of new neural connections.Neurogenesis occurs at high rates in the young brain and can occur in the adult brain until around the tenth decade of life according to new research from Dr Maria Llorens-Martín published in Nature Medicine. Neurogenesis: Neurogenesis is the creation of new neurons in central parts of the brain, the hippocampus and olfactory bulb.There are four main types of neuroplasticity adaptations:
