As you\u2019re reading right now, your brain is rearranging itself to process the information you\u2019re taking in so you can understand and retain it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his best-selling book <em>The Brain That Changes Itself<\/em>, psychoanalyst and best-selling author Norman Doidge uses case studies and centuries of research to provide a thorough but understandable explanation of the concept of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/hub\/science\/what-is-neuroplasticity-and-how-does-it-work\/\">neuroplasticity<\/a>\u2014the phenomenon of the changing brain.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following <em>The Brain That Changes Itself<\/em> quotes highlight some of the key ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>\u201cIronically, some of our most stubborn habits and disorders are products of our plasticity.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, brain plasticity may have downsides, says Doidge. Because plasticity is competitive, when one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-are-the-regions-of-the-brain\/\">area of the brain<\/a> becomes unused, it\u2019s likely to be taken over by other functions that are used regularly. This can make it difficult to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-get-rid-of-bad-habits\/\">break bad habits<\/a> because using the pathways involved with those habits not only strengthens them, but also weakens the pathways that are <em>not <\/em>used by the bad habit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>All of us have worries. We worry because we are intelligent beings. Intelligence predicts, that is its essence; the same intelligence that allows us to plan, hope, imagine, and hypothesize also allows us to worry and anticipate negative outcomes.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Doidge also suggests that neuroplasticity could be responsible for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/excessive-worry\/\">excessive worry<\/a> and disorders like obsessive compulsive disorder. As your brain continually plays through anxiety-inducing scenarios, those pathways become stronger, which means you worry about them even more.&nbsp;Though it may be the cause, Doidge also says that neuroplasticity could be the <em>cure<\/em> for excessive worry and obsessive compulsive disorder. Therapy that involves reframing the worrisome thoughts into something positive, or distracting yourself with something positive, can help weaken the worry pathways that have become so strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>\u201cLanguage development, for instance, has a critical period that begins in infancy and ends between eight years and puberty. After this critical period closes, a person\u2019s ability to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/advantages-of-learning-a-foreign-language\/\">learn a second language<\/a> without an accent is limited. In fact, second languages learned after the critical period are not processed in the same part of the brain as is the native tongue.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Doidge explains that the reason adults have more trouble learning a second language than children do is that the areas of their brain that process language are already being used to process their first language. It therefore takes more practice for an adult than for a child to create new pathways in that area to correspond to a second language. It\u2019s easier to learn a second language while you&#8217;re acquiring your first language because the map of neural pathways for language widens to include both languages as they develop at the same time. However, when you\u2019re learning a second language as an adult, that new language has to develop a brand new neural map rather than incorporating it into the first language\u2019s map.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you looking for The Brain That Changes Itself quotes by Norman Doidge?
