Join us for a virtual session about brain plasticity. We will review the basics of what brain plasticity is, learn what we can do in our day to day lives to help encourage brain plasticity, and discuss habits that may be detrimental to our highly plastic minds. If you are interested in learning more about how our brain rewires itself, or about brain health in general- this is a session for you!
