increases in serotonin, or ACh, or dopamine, or norepinephrine, all can predictably increase sensory plasticity.

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
Then the self-directed learning that they're doing, the plasticity, is being fed by these things that I know we're going to talk a lot about today, neuromodulators, right? We know these as dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, serotonin, acetylcholine.
His work showed that if specific neuromodulators, meaning acetylcholine, norepinephrine, serotonin, or dopamine, are triggered to be released in the adult brain, you can achieve massive rewiring of brain circuits and learning, even as an adult.
And some of the more interesting ones um involve boosting the levels of some neurom modulator dopamine or acetylcholine or norepinephrine or epinephrine serotonin. But what's so interesting to me is that seems like you can boost the levels of any of those and get plasticity.
