Neuroplasticity from continuous learning contributes to happiness and health, even with neurocognitive degradation.

“I do think because once again I I'm very strongly the view that psychology is biology. >> I mean there's just I mean I believe that there are things that are that are that are suprabiological as well. I believe that there is a metaphysics. I don't believe that everything is a you know related to the brain. And I think that the mind goes and the soul go beyond that to be sure. But most almost everything that we talk about in psychology, you have to understand the biology to really get it. I think neuroplasticity is the key. People who have a lot of very very active uh have a life of the mind and are highly neuroplastic, they're just happier and healthier. And by the way, even if they have a whole lot of degradation, neurocognitive degradation physically, they're they they do better.”
