Maiara Walsh: Brain Plasticity

I love learning about the brain. Anything to do with neuroscience or brain plasticity. I read a great book called, “The Brain That Changes Itself” by Norman Doige I believe. And it’s all about brain plasticity, which is basically your brain’s ability to change and you know, it’s so fascinating because we form all these addictions whether it’s to people, whether it’s to love, whether it’s to coffee.

And the more you get set in these patterns, the harder they are to break. But you can always break them and you can always got in a different direction. It doesn’t matter how old you are. It might take you a little bit longer, but you can always change, which I think is fantastic.

And I like to read, I love Psychology, I love Biology. So I do want to go back to school at some point and take all these classes.  If I could have it my way I could have a private tutor who would just teach me everything I want to know.
