There are multiple views of the brain. Some see the brain as always reinventing itself: changing, evolving, growing, and developing. Others see the brain as a machine that is pre-programmed to make specific decisions, no matter what comes up. 🧠 The former view of neuroscience teaches us that no matter how old we are, there is always the potential for more change, the potential for improvement, the potential for growth, and deeper connection. “I think this is an optimistic view of neuroscience. Yes, we get older and indeed, as we get older, our brains become a little less flexible, a little less plastic, but not entirely at any stage of life. There is always the potential for change, the potential for improvement, the potential for growth and the connection.” Anil Seth, British neuroscientist and professor of Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience at the University of Sussex explains. In his Blinkist Guide, The Neuroscience of Self, Anil Seth takes you deeper into the mystery of the brain and consciousness. This Guide is sure to make you feel more connected with yourself and other living beings. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ek-A2Thx
