Neuroplasticity and learning explained

What is Neuroplasticity and how does it help us to understand the learning process? For many years, scientists thought that the brain was fixed and couldn’t adapt or change after childhood but advances in fMRI scanning have shown that this could not be further from the truth. We can now see that our brains change and adapt every day, regardless of our age. Every time we learn something new, we are harnessing the power of neuroplasticity. You can use the AGES model of learning to improve your teaching.
