Brain Plasticity Insights
The brain's malleability extends beyond just synaptic weights, involving complex changes at multiple levels, including receptor distribution and the epigenome. While synaptic connections are often the focus due to measurement challenges, the entire neural system is plastic, adapting dynamically as activity flows through it. This nuanced understanding parallels the concept of pace layers, highlighting the varying rates at which different elements of the brain evolve.In this clip

Could I say that when we are in unfamiliar environments surrounded by novelty, the brain is more open to neuroplasticity and there are neurotransmitters more available to try and make sense of all the new stimuli, as discussed in the episode 474: David Eagleman | The Inside Story of the Ever-Changing Brain and the clip Brain Development? It's like the nervous system understands it may need to change.
