NEURAL PLASTICITY

Neural plasticity: the brain in constant change

Our brain is alive and constantly changing. Neurons form new connections and grow. Internal and external stimuli create new connections between neurons in the brain, which are strengthened through repeated use or weakened when unused. As a result, entire areas of the brain can change and adapt to specific requirements. Neural plasticity describes this lifelong adaptability of the nervous system. The brain is a bit like a plant; it can grow, regenerate, and change.

Neural plasticity as the basis of learning

Neural plasticity and learning are closely linked. All learning processes, whether in healthy or sick individuals, are based on this principle. This is because learning essentially involves acquiring new information or skills that can then be stored in the memory and retrieved later. It is precisely this ability of our brain to form and maintain new connections that makes this possible.

Neural plasticity in rehabilitation

What applies to acquiring new knowledge or skills also applies to relearning lost skills. Neural plasticity is also at the heart of this process. After a brain injury, the nervous system is particularly malleable for some time. Training is essential during this critical phase.

Neural plasticity as the basis for our products

This is where our product teora® mind comes in. We stimulate areas of the brain in a way that is designed to promote plasticity in the brain and restore lost abilities. In this way, we help the brain to heal itself.
