Neuroplasticity is generally more robust in younger brains, facilitating faster learning and recovery from injuries.

Regular practice and reinforcement strengthen synaptic connections, solidifying learned behaviors and skills in the neural circuitry.

Adequate sleep contributes positively to neuroplasticity, aiding in memory consolidation and cognitive function.

Chronic stress can impair neuroplasticity by affecting neurotransmitter systems and reducing the creation of new neurons (neurogenesis).

Proper nutrition supports neuroplasticity by providing the necessary substrates for neuron growth and function.

Exercise stimulates the release of growth factors that enhance neuronal survival and facilitation of neuroplastic changes.

Enriched environments with sensory, cognitive, and social stimuli promote synaptic growth and learning.

After injury, the brain can rewire itself through processes like compensation and reorganization to regain lost functions.

Neurotransmitters and modulators impact the strength and efficacy of synaptic connections, influencing learning and plasticity.
