I Analyzed 13 TED Talks on Improving Your Memory — Here\u2019s the Quintessence<\/strong><\/a> — from learntrepreneurs.com by Eva Keiffenheim
\nHow you can make the most out of your\u00a0brain.<\/em><\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

In her talk,<\/a> brain researcher and professor Lara Boyds explains what science currently knows about neuroplasticity. In essence, your brain can change in three ways.<\/p>\n

Change 1 — Increase chemical signalling<\/strong>
\nYour brain works by sending chemicals signals from cell to cell, so-called neurons. This transfer triggers actions and reactions. To support learning your brain can increase the concentration of these signals between your neurons. Chemical signalling is related to your short-term memory.<\/p>\n

Change 2 — Alter the physical structure<\/strong>
\nDuring learning, the connections between neurons change. In the first change, your brain\u2019s structure stays the same. Here, your brain\u2019s physical structure changes — which takes more time. That\u2019s why altering the physical structure influences your long-term memory.<\/p>\n

For example, research shows that London taxi cab drivers who actually have to memorize a map of London to get their taxicab license have larger brain regions devoted to spatial or mapping memories.<\/p>\n

Change 3 — Alter brain function<\/strong>
\nThis one is crucial (and will also be mentioned in the following talks). When you use a brain region, it becomes more and more accessible. Whenever you access a specific memory, it becomes easier and easier to use again.<\/p>\n

But Boyd\u2019s talk doesn\u2019t stop here. She further explores what limits or facilitates neuroplasticity. She researches how people can recover from brain damages such as a stroke and developed therapies that prime or prepare the brain to learn — including simulation, exercise and robotics.<\/p>\n

Her research is also helpful for healthy brains — here are the two most important lessons:<\/p>\n

The primary driver of change in your brain is your behaviour.
\n…
\nThere is no one size fits all approach to learning.

\nThis is so important. It’s the underlying cognitive science\/psychology involved in the posting I recently created that was entitled, “<\/span>What are the ramifications of having cognitive \u201chighways in our minds?<\/strong><\/a>\u201d It occurs to me that patience, grace, forgiveness, work, new habits, and more are required here.<\/span><\/p>\n
