    Use It or Lose It: Neuroplasticity in the AI Era

    Our brains are “plastic like Play-Doh”, constantly reshaping, growing, and adapting from childhood to late adulthood. But in a world of instant answers, doom-scrolling, and kids calling it “brain rot,” how do we keep our brain activated? In this episode, Dr. Kourosh and Dr. Goly explore how effort, novelty, mistakes, and even discomfort are what make the brain grow, and what’s at stake when technology makes everything too easy. If you’ve wondered how to stay mentally strong in fast-changing times, or how to support kids growing up with AI, this is the conversation to watch. #neuroplasticitytraining #BrainHealth #AIera #MentalFitness #ElumindPodcast ⏱️ We dive into: 0:00 Intro 0:13 Podcast Theme Neuroplasticity In The AI Era 1:24 Busting the fixed-brain myth 1:45 How the brain keeps changing at every age 2:20 Aging brains: more connections vs less volume 2:39 Your brain as a Social Network 3:08 What builds true Mental Health 3:36 Enriched vs Deprived Environments 3:48 Trauma and the ‘pause button’ on Growth 4:35 Anxious, Depressed Brain vs Healthy Plastic Brain 6:02 When Neuroplasticity Actually Happens?
