The Rewiring Brain

Your brain literally rewires itself every time you learn something new. Scientists call this

neuroplasticity, and it happens at any age. Here's what blows my mind.

When London taxi drivers memorize thousands of streets, their hippocampus actually grows larger on

brain scans. Even crazier, people who lose their sight develop enhanced hearing

because their visual cortex gets repurposed for sound processing. And the wildest part,

learning a second language doesn't just add vocabulary, it physically changes your brain structure

and can delay dementia by up to five years. Your brain is

constantly rebuilding itself based on what you feed it.
