On examining the brain tissue, researchers found that their memory centres showed genetic markers and enzymes concomitant with brain plasticity and the creation of new neurons.

He said brain plasticity takes several forms.

Also, studies have shown differences in brain plasticity due to stimulation of learning or practicing a musical instrument.

Investigations on brain plasticity are aimed at improving human communication and learning in individuals throughout the life span and in clinical populations.

It has not been proven that sensory stimulation therapy can actually improve brain plasticity, nor cognitive function.
