<p>Le concept de neuroplasticit茅 d茅signe la capacit茅 du cerveau 脿 茅tablir des connexions 脿 l鈥檌nt茅rieur de lui-m锚me, en s鈥檃daptant 脿 son environnement. La plasticit茅 du cerveau est maximale pendant l鈥檈nfance, avec la formation de nouvelles voies en r茅action 脿 des stimuli tels que le langage.</p>
Bilingualism makes the brain more efficient, especially when learned at a young age
<h2><b>MRI data from large sample shows increased whole-brain connectivity in people with a second language</b></h2>
<p>Neuroplasticity is the brain鈥檚 ability to build connections within itself, adapting to the surrounding environment. The brain is most plastic in childhood, forming new pathways in reaction to stimuli such as language.</p>

New study finds promising approach for reducing brain inflammation
<p>A new study by researchers at the Azrieli Centre for Autism Research (ACAR) has uncovered a promising approach for reducing brain inflammation.听</p>
<p>Glial cells, which support and protect neurons, can become overactive during injury and brain inflammation. This overactivity may contribute to chronic neurodegeneration and worsen brain disorders. Understanding how this process, called reactive gliosis, is controlled could help scientists better understand brain diseases and improve treatments.听听</p>
