Neuroplasticity in adults is triggered by atypical nervous system states, such as those with high levels of catecholamines, leading to elevated heart rate, distress, and emotionality.

“as an adult meaning from age 25 onward and really that's not a strict cut off could be late teens maybe 19 all the way up to say age 120 which we think is perhaps the maximum lifespan that humans could possibly reach we don't know most people don't reach 120 but let's say from 19 all the way up to 120 we know that neuroplasticity is created when the nervous system goes into states that are atypical as compared to our normal waking States and one of the key triggers for neuroplasticity is when we have high levels of the so-called catacol amines dopamine epinephrine Endor norepinephrine in our brain and body that creates a state change that we call autonomic nervous system shift where we have elevated heart rate more distress High degrees of emotionality it is highly uncomfortable often and yet that signals to the neural tissue hey something's happening here and we need to rewire we need to change”
