Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to adapt as a result of experiences or events in your life. It is well known that neuroplastic change forms an integral part of human development; we cannot become who we are without neuroplasticity. But does this continue in adulthood? Does it only happen in response to trauma on the brain? Is it possible to rewire your brain and see tangible changes in your life?

This talk aims to answer these questions and will talk through the basic principles of the underlying physiology of neuroplasticity, the events and experiences that impact us and cause significant neuroplastic change, and how you can reinforce your neural connections and rewire your brain.

Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7.30pm – come down early to grab a good seat!

Laura Elin Pigott is a Clinical Neuroscientist; She is the youngest person in the U.K to become a lecturer and at the age of 22 started teaching Neurosciences and Neurorehabilitation at LSBU. Laura strives to share her passion for neuroscience and health care with everyone. After all, there is so much of the human brain we know nothing about, which to her just means there is so much left to discover. We can all take part in these discoveries.

She started her career in Physiotherapy but quickly sought out the underlying processes of neurological disease and rehabilitation. Her research focuses on neural mechanisms, circuitry and electrophysiology of neurological disease at the Neurophysiology Unit, UCL and Cancer surveillance and progression in the brain at the Queen Square Institute of Neurology, NHNN.
