What the Neurosciences tell us

Now we will address the research that has been done from the point of view of neurosciences (neurobiology and neurophysiology). To do this, we will see what they have observed from brain plasticity.

It has been studied how learning, skills acquisition, interpersonal and social influences, plus other context variables, can exert an effect on the physical structure of the brain, modifying it and establishing new relationships and neural circuits that in turn will change the functioning . With the above, we have also studied what are the factors that influence the brain plasticity of individuals, since each person has a way to perform their organic potential. We will divide these factors into two groups: the intrinsic (which are generated from inside the person) and the extrinsic (those that are the product of the interaction of the environment and the person).

The intrinsic are:

1. Prenatal experience (everything the individual lives from conception until before birth).

2. The postnatal experience (all the stimuli that live the person from birth onwards, to adapt and stay alive).

3. The genetic factors.

4. The hormones.

5. Maturation.

6. Aging

7. The diseases.

The extrinsic are:

1. Food (diet).

2. Drugs (alcohol, smoking, brain stimulants).

3. The stress.

4. Accidents.

5. Climate change.

6. The pollution.

As we see, with all the aforementioned all experience leaves a mark.

These conclusions also reached Kolb, Gibb and Robinson in 2003, and this has been demonstrated since neurobiology.

With the above, that phrase so trite in our social environment of "nothing happens" is not real, and everything we are living and experiencing generates a small modification in us and in our environment.
