Abstract: Neuroplasticity is a relatively new concept about the brain’s ability to rewire itself in certain areas. The general idea was developed in the 20th century, and it has become an intriguing field of study due to the superhuman-like feats of the brain that allows people with missing parts of the brain, impaired neurological functions, and certain mental disorders to live with more function. Neuroplasticity occurs in both animals and humans, as both react similarly to the environment, and results can be compared to reach a deeper understanding about how stress, which is a consequence of internal and external pressures, affects neuroplasticity. Other external stimuli, however, such as music, can improve the rate of neuroplasticity in people or undo damage in the nervous system. On the other hand, neuroplasticity does also have its downsides, which must be carefully avoided to prevent any issues related to mentality. In other words, while neuroplasticity can cure people of disorders, it may also be the exact reason why it developed in the first place. This curious phenomenon explores the true capabilities of the brain. This paper will describe the effect neuroplasticity has on people and the ways people can affect their rates of neuroplasticity.
