The nervous system includes the brain, spinal cord, and connections to organs and the rest of the body.
The nervous system governs all biological systems of the body, and our body is essentially an electrical system, passing nerve cells to direct movement, feelings, and experiences.
The mechanism behind Déjà vu sensation is neurons that were active in one circumstance are becoming active again in the same circumstance.
Speech and language are controlled by separate parts of the nervous system.
The five main functions of the nervous system are sensation, perception, feelings/emotions, thoughts, and actions/behaviors.
Neuroplasticity is our ability to change the nervous system and is controlled by neuromodulators like dopamine, serotonin, and acetylcholine.
No neuroplasticity occurs in real-time during the event – strengthening of synapses occurs during sleep and non-sleep deep rest.
The autonomic nervous system controls unconscious bodily functions and governs the transition between alert and focus.
To engage neuroplasticity, direct transition between wakefulness and sleep, and sleep and wakefulness.
To optimize neuroplasticity, get better at falling asleep, staying asleep, and keeping the brain in the idle state, and engage in focused learning blocks throughout the day.
