Can You Increase Neuroplasticity?

You cannot turn plasticity up like a dial, but you can create conditions that support adaptation: regular physical activity, adequate sleep, sustained and challenging practice, and recovery from chronic stress. Supplements, brain-training apps and "rewiring" programmes have far weaker evidence, and greater plasticity is not automatically beneficial.
