Neurophysiological

Research trends

Beneficial neuroplasticity after neurophysiological training is another cutting-edge topic. In 2017, research provided evidence of cortical reorganization through neuroplasticity after neurophysiological training: grey matter thickness increased after a 3-month training course. However, evidence has also shown that this process is not irreversible. The brain volume increases during cognitive tasks such as writing, drawing, or sound differentiation, but within a few weeks after these activities end, it returns nearly to its previous level. Research on right-handed people has shown that after a month of learning to write and draw with their left hands, their brain volume had increased, but three weeks later, it was nearly back to normal. Research on animals that learned to use a rake to retrieve food or learned to differentiate between sounds has shown the same results.
