This week in our reading group, we have been learning about neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is neurons changing and forming new pathways when you learn things and make connections. We all had to create a presentation about the brain and how we can train our brain to become bigger and stronger!
Here are some fascinating facts about the brain:
1. The left side of your brain controls the right side of your body and the right side of your brain controls the left side of your body!
2. The brain grows three times its size in the first year of life!
3. The human brain has approximately 100 billion neurons!
