Thank you, Dr. Merzenich! I have followed this work since 2004 and the good doctor and company continue to improve the work-outs. This is for the betterment of society, using advanced research for our benefit and not hiding it away. Thank you so much, sincerely!
"Legalize it, don't criticize it", Peter Tosh said many years ago. Now - however referring to our brain - we can say *"Train it, don't drain it!".* Now thanks to Mike Merzenich's great work, it turns out that our brain is in a way *exempted* from the usual 'wearing-out' process the rest of the body is subject to when aging. However - if he is right in "Soft-wired", there is also a feedback mechanism between the brain and the "rest" of the body, apparently with an effect of 'corporal healing' as well, although not that strong of course. He speaks of 'outcome', whereas I'd prefer 'solution' being the result of productive cerebral activity. I.o.w., 'hand-made' adequate solutions to specific problems as opposed to fabricated, more or less automatic results of everyday routine brain activity which seem to have no training effect on the brain and/or the body.
Couple years ago, I've watched this video till end and I felt that ı needed to rewatch it again. Since we build on brain and it is essential that we know enough information how it runs.
I am actually learning this at school! Granted I'm a Sophomore now and could have done with it previously but the education system is definitely evolving
This is a very informative video to rewatch, and use for research...wife may may early onset dementia. One diagnosis But have had very extreme success with memory and brain building excersise, has really changed whole direction of our longterm outlook miracles exsist There happen everyday But we have to be in action. Doing and being one Seeking our inner powers.. Just my thoughts. Many blessings 🙏✨🌍
this makes me realize, the things I have hypothesized about, related to the abnormalities in my brain - maybe true. Excess use of the visual part, when I pursued photography, led to another part (brain) to experience reduced activity. When I stopped pursuing the visual arts, the part of my brain that that had reduced activity is now experienceing normal activity. Is this why I had my first seizure at 26 ?.
My name is Reginald S Taylor & I'm proof of this theory if you read this please call me & I will explain what my experiences have been & will give u the information that u can check 2 make sure I'm not crazy here is my phone # 201- 805 - 4598

This is a masterpiece. I recently read something similar, and it was a masterpiece in its own right. "Unlocking the Brain's Full Potential" by Alexander Sterling
There’s a thread that runs through every single word that the speaker is espousing and this is that the brain’s plasticity is benign unless a professional intervenes to manipulate the brain’s fundamental biological structure so as to improve it’s basic functioning or prevent it’s degrading tendencies. And the changes are presumably designed to alter only the physiological makeup, therefore ignoring the mental or psychological perspectives which apparently are deemed to be unrelated to the healthy working of the brain’s output according to the theory underlying the research proposed by the speaker. No explanation for dismissing psychological aspects is included in the exposition of the matters regarding the subject of plasticity. Is the brain only a complex machine that operates purely according to the movements of plasticity as presented in this and other talks/lectures given by Michael Merzenich?
I don’t know if I AM GOOD TO EVERYONE, but I know I never hurt anyone, I respect everyone, even my struggles and suffering cause me to died a 1000x but I AM still here., y people don’t try to LOVE EACH OTHER, why? Is love is too hard to do, I AM STILL HURTING
Why amazing is hat your Brian is not what you think. Thoughts might not even be in the brain . I mean we think it’s the mind, memories etc, but that isn’t it.
I am not one to judge but i don't mind sitting in the jury of the decision that if your neuroplasicity was true, then why is it that you are so overweight? It's because you don't know how to use this science, you know some of the theory, and not the practice. As you said change is under your control, this is another divisive and control way to create a niche in this philosophy. Norman Doidge is another one out there. It's a better method to chemical incarceration, by selling medicines but now we are selling a philosophy. Walk the talk, and everyone will believe you, you need to look after yourself in order to change others thinking.
Dean Nicholas you are so right in your critical thinking. I appreciate the comment and your courage in posting it. Why, oh why, is this man so obviously not caring for himself?
Yes you are. You looked at this man's size, and you judged him to be weak minded and lacking mental control. You judged him unfairly, not knowing anything about him or his situation, based solely on his size. You are one to judge. Weight is a complicated situation with a lot of factors involved, including health conditions, medications, sometimes a combo of the two, age, workload, genetics, etc. I hate to be the one to tell you this, but not all fat people are lazy, weak minded gluttons who eat unhealthy food. That is taking a stereotype and applying it to anyone who fits your prejudices. You put people in a box. It reminds me of the racist who starts his ignorant statement off with, "I'm not racist, but..". It's bullshit, plan and simple. People are individuals, and they should be treated as such. Weight is not always a simple equation of intake and output, like the propaganda pushes.
To quote the speaker "none of us have identical internal life". When you learn and study the microbiome and genetics, the variance of humans is astounding since were are only 1% human. If the only thing you can see or hear when listening to a gifted speaker is their physical size, then all it tells people, especially me, is , that is the depth of your ability to think. I would highly suggest you reassess your diet to see if you have bad bacteria feeding your brain. Healthy well people are naturally kind as serotonin and dopamine would be at optimal levels....but again, we all can vary a lot.

Brain plasticity is a great contribution by the Bhudism of science. Brain plasticity is nothing without ethics and morality.

This guy is a wise scientist...
Couple years ago, I've watched this video till end and I felt that ı needed to rewatch it again. Since we build on brain and it is essential that we know enough information how it runs.
Brilliant! I wish it could be taught at schools, so that we all could learn and use this great knowledge in every day life
I am actually learning this at school! Granted I'm a Sophomore now and could have done with it previously but the education system is definitely evolving
It is taught in school of this practice. See my comments for more examples of discussions on the topics.
So enjoyed this information yet his health is not an extension of what he speaks volumes to.. health and fitness are Kind!
I AM tired so so tired, but im here to find PEACE LOVE HOPE AND RESPECT IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK
Thank you for posting this. Thank you Dr. Merzenich. Very informative content.

I am sorry to hear that. I was your wife and you all the best.

Doubt it
That is great....
You have given contribution to team
Thank you so much sir, I got a lot of information about brain from this marvelous speech! 👌🤓
This was amazing. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks sir... i like too much

I AM NO HATE TO ANYONE U R ALL FORGIVEN, thank you have a wonderful day
we need a debate between Michael Merzenich and jordan peterson, because the first is saying "IT WORKS!" and other is screaming " IT DOSE NOT WORK !"
love BrainHQ

Bet my brain part associated with language changed after I started thinking in English.
Why did you change the language you think in? Is it better in English?
Hi I AM HERE
🤗👏 move forward

I noticed this too

Khey Wood exactly,thank you for your wise answer
