Why has neuroplasticity only just been discovered?
The brain has been described as the unknown frontier as researchers and scientists are constantly making new dicoveries. One of the things that has led to new knowledge of the brain has been the development of better instruments to measure and assess brain function and brain systems. Brain plasticity is one of those concepts that has recently been proven by neuroscientists, and it is a very exciting finding as it means that we now know that we can beneficially influence brain development across the life span.
