"Brain Sculpting: Creating optimal neural networks and functions with experience-based neuroplasticity" presented by Kelly Lambert, MacEldin Trawick Chair and Professor of Behavioral Neuroscience and 2024-25 Phi Beta Kappa National Visiting Scholar Program.Considering that our brains change from the womb to the tomb, it is critical to understand how life experiences alter neural functions. The ability to change our minds and our brains---known as neuroplasticity---is one of our most valuable "superpowers." A discussion of neuroplasticity research will span from the earliest "enriched environment" rodent studies to current research focusing on tuning brains for optimal functions throughout our lives. Over a half-century of research has identified fascinating neurobiological tools that the brain uses to adapt to our changing worlds. Knowledge that the brain can also change in maladaptive ways serves as a potent reminder that we should be mindful of our brain's experiences throughout our lives. Co-sponsored by Phi Beta Kappa and Mind, Brain, and Behavior Initiative. Reception to follow.
