For individuals over 25, the brain will not change unless there is a selective shift in attention or experience that signals the brain to adapt.

“Obviously 25 is not a strict cutoff. Graded processes…”

“there is far less neuroplasticity after ~25 than in your childhood & teens years”

“Adult 25- X neuroplasticity does occur but it’s nothing like that of 0-18 (immense)”

“Because if there's one truism to neuroplasticity, it's that from birth until about age 25 the brain is incredibly plastic.”

“If you're older than 25 your brain will not change unless there's a selective shift in your attention or a selective shift in your experience that tells the brain it's time to change.”

“After age 25 or so, in order to get changes in our nervous system, we have to engage in a completely different set of processes in order to get those changes to occur and for them more importantly to stick around.”

“except perhaps why it is that the brain can't change as readily >> and when we're young as opposed to older.”
