Utdrag
Neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to change in shape and grow grey matter with according to environmental needs as well as pactive.

It also refers to the ability of the brain to form neural networks and rearrange the connections between its neurons, that is, the changes that occur in the structure of the brain as a result of learning or experience.

The concept is that as our brains develop through time, the brain adapts to certain parts of the brain which we use the most, this leads to grey matter.

The grey matter indicates that there are more synapses and neurotransmissions. One study that shows neuroplasticity in the brain is Draganski. Draganski wanted to investigate whether learning a behavior which is in this cause juggling would lead to neuroplasticity in the brain.

The researcher carried an MRI on all the participants. And then they were allocated into two conditions. the juggling and the non juggling condition.

The participants in the juggling condition were told to practice juggling until they have mastered it, and the participants in the non juggling condition served as a control group. A second MRI was carried.
