In this book, we will explore the journey of brain development, from birth to adulthood, examining the key moments when plasticity is particularly intense and the so-called sensitive periods, phases during which the brain is most receptive to external stimuli. We will discover how the environment in which we live—ou experiences, relationships, the quality of education, and even our lifestyle—plys a crucial role in shaping neural connections. We will also delve into the role of epigenetics, that is, how environmental factors influence the expression of our genes, altering the structure and function of the brain without changing our DNA. This will lead us to reflect on how our biology is less predetermined than once thought and how we can actively intervene to enhance our cognitive abilities and mental well-being. The science of neuroplasticity offers us a fascinating and revolutionary perspective: the brain is not a static entity but a universe in constant transformation. Understanding its mechanisms allows us not only to improve its performance but also to build a future where human potential is maximized.
