Neuroplasticity

After childhood the brain does not and could not change.

• True

• False

Your friend tells you, "my brain is tired and too active, I need to just sit on the couch so my brain does nothing for a few minutes."

Is this a possible technique to let your brain be inactive?

• the brain is always active even when we don't do anything.

• you have to run or exercise so your brain can be inactive.

• your brain can only be inactive if you are asleep.

Every time we learn a skill or experience something new, the brain changes. This is an explanation of

• brain localization

• neuroplasticity

• excitation

• inhibition

Your grandfather decides to learn how to play Fifa 19. You tell him:

• this is impossible because your brain, as you grow older, only loses its ability to function at full capacity.

• sure lets practice and play together, the brain continues to change and learn even as grown ups, he will be an awesome play partner since he is on retirement now.

• Are you sure you can handle it?

• even if we practice over and over, I will still beat you grandpa, you are too old for me!

What are the three ways your brain can change?

• chemically, structurally, functionally

• color, structure, smell

• function, shape, size

• chemical, shape, smell

These changes to the brain are quick, work on short term memory and do not last very long.

• Chemical

• Structural

• Functional

• Color

These changes take longer to happen, they last longer and affect your long term memory.

• Chemical

• Structural

• Functional

• Color

All the extra science and knowledge has led us to a perfect formula of learning.

• true

• false

The number of death by stroke has decreased in the US, this can be explained by

• the ability to practice and live beyond a stroke has developed.

• American health care is so good that no more strokes are happening

• they have a problem in gathering information on stroke deaths.

Research on neuroplasticity has given us a perfect treatment that can work on everyone.
