- Abstract:
The article discusses brain plasticity in humans, focusing on the way in which myelin's ability to alter itself affects brain plasticity. Topics include the impact of myelination on cognitive abilities; a 2004 study conducted by researcher Heidi Johansen-Berg that compared changes in grey and white matter in response to learning a new skill; and the possibility that brain function could be boosted through the manipulation of myelin production.
