Hi,
Delighted to meet you too Jogeshwarji!
Here's a bit about neuroplasticity that I read. Source is Wikipedia.
"Neuroplasticity (variously referred to as brain plasticity or cortical plasticity) refers to the changes that occur in the organisation of the brain, and in particular changes that occur to the location of specific information processing functions, as a result of the effect of learning and experience. A common and surprising consequence of brain plasticity is that the location of a given function can "move" from one location to another in the brain due to repeated learning or brain trauma.
Even the adult brain is not "hard-wired" with fixed and immutable neuronal circuits. Many people have been taught to believe that once a brain injury occurs, there is little to do to repair the damage. This is simply not the case and there is no fixed period of time after which "plasticity" is blocked or lost. We simply do not know all of the conditions that can enhance neuronal plasticity in the intact and damaged brain, but new discoveries are being made all of the time. There are many instances of cortical and subcortical rewiring of neuronal circuits in response to training as well as in response to injury. There is now solid evidence that neurogenesis, the formation of new nerve cells, is possible in the adult, mammalian brain--and such changes can persist well into old age."
I especially like the second part better. Now I have a rational explaination when elders say, "I am too old to study new things".
I got where you are going with this. So through repeated attempts (learnings), we can actually program our brains to make clockwise circles with our right foot, while attempting to make a 6 with our right hand finger. Though, what is it exactly that makes such action possible? And what is it that made our brains programmed to move our right foot and right hand finger in the same direction?
