Neuroplasticity

Patients who suffer from depression and post-traumatic-stress-disorder tend to have impaired neurogenesis and neuroplasticity – their brain cells grow more slowly and are less adaptable.

Over this very long time period, all our children’s brains have the ability to grow and regrow new brain cells to compensate for brain damage.

Although the brain only takes up 2% of your body weight, it consumes 20% of total energy. That makes diet a crucial component in neuroplasticity.
