Brain rewires itself every day

In August 2009. ScienceDaily reported on a discovery that the brain rewires itself following an experience. Researchers, Henry Markram and Jean-Vincent Le Bé, at the Brain Science Institute in France showed that this process of changing, strengthening and pruning brain circuits takes place on a scale of just hours, suggesting that the brain is evolving considerably even during the course of a single day. "The circuitry of the brain is like a social network where neurons are like people, directly linked to only a few other people," explains Markram. "This finding indicates that the brain is constantly switching alliances and linking with new circles of "friends" to better process information." This finding fits perfectly into the model of neurofeedback. Brain training of this sort creates new connections and strengthens existing ones. There is a new adaptive rewiring that takes place, and the brain becomes more stable and more functional. With the Othmer Interhemispheric Low Frequency Training, I am now often seeing positive changes within one session. Symptoms such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, insomnia, headache, and autism all noticeably improve. With repeated trainings, the improvement become permanent. The brain truly is neuroplastic and readily makes changes when presented with the right challenges.
