Neuroplasticity is the remodelling of nerve connections and nerve sprouting. And this helps to keep our brain healthy, and prevents the brain from shrinking.

The phrase 'use it or lose it' applies to our brain, as much as our muscles.
If we don't use certain nerve pathways, they die away, just like a footpath through a field disappears if it is never used.

The principles of neuroplasticity are what physiotherapists harness when working with someone who has had a brian injury or stroke, help them regain movement, by making new nerve pathways using the healthy (undamaged) parts of the brain.

Did you know your brain has an amazing ability to adapt and grow, no matter your age?
Keep it sharp by learning something new—whether it's a language, a musical instrument, or even a new route to work.
Or something simple like brushing your teeth using the other hand or swapping your cutlery around.

Learning something new or changing the way we do something familiar encourages the brain to make more neuronal (nerve) connections.

Never giving your brain something new (novel) to do can result in the brain shrinking, as connections that are not used die away.

Challenge your brain, and it will thank you

Do you struggle to balance in the dark and in busy environments?

Do you know which balance system you depend on?
When you have a vestibular condition, it’s common to depend upon vision for balance.

This works well if you’re in a still environment that is well lit
If you are in a busy environment such as lots of people moving around or moving objects such as escalators it becomes much harder to stay balanced and you will probably feel more dizzy

Similarly, if you are in a dark environment, it may be really difficult to stay balanced as there is nothing for your vision to anchor on
