Neuroplasticity- The Creative Phenomenon
The mind is slowly getting attracted to new pieces of information, each varying in size and apprehension abilities. But what is this new thing, now that one is so wildly attracted to, or if not, what is this idea that continues to shape us each day. The answer lies inside our own brains and the concept of neuroplasticity is what appeals to me the most.
So I have been infatuated with science a lot these days, with each new thought enthralling me to an extent beyond narration as it draws me closer, in looking for answers on the nature of reality. And one of the concepts that distinctively stands out from all of this is the complex abilities of the human brain, and what could be extensively appealing than neuroplasticity. The simple definition that I could get from the internet, www.brainline.com which defines neuroplasticity as the brains ability to change and adapt to things. “It refers to the psychological changes in the brain that happens as a result of our interaction with the environment.”
What I’m most fascinated about is the re-wire and the growth of new neurons inside ones brain in order to help a person recover from any psychological or traumatic experiences that he/she may have encountered. This process tends to create new neural pathways inside the brain in order to allow the person to adapt to new changes and be responsive to the everyday demands of this inadequate society.
Everyone at some point in time may experience events that may seem to have distorted ones entire perception of life and is getting significantly challenging each day for him/her to continue living like an untouched curtain. Well, the good news is that you will not have to, because overtime, the brain tends to process new pieces of information that shape the physicality of the neuron pathway.
Thus the birth of a different person each winter or spring or at the same fare beside that same girl but at a different time and year- unaffected by the picture where she holds someone else’s hands. By this, I mean that the person is more aware of all that is happening around him/her and is able to maintain feasibility in one’s psychological approach towards life and its increasing demands.
As each day gets infected with new and open emotions, one that tends to leave us with lasting scars, there is a little hope that the mind, such uniquely crafted, it will try to forget these traumatic experiences and adapt to a new genre in totality, one that is not so emotional or slanted after all.
The complex flow of information inside the brain, with each nerve ending playing its role such steadily- a shift in the framework of operations may lead to major psychological alterations to deviate its impacting role inside the brain. By this, I mean that people are on the brighter side of things as their own minds helps them to recover from traumatic and unpleasant events.
As I continue to write, I realize that I have gained a new perception on the entirety of writing, one that should be universally captured, and this is what defines me, the greater part of neuroplasticity playing its endless role in the nature of time and space- I’m not even human it seems.
