Hi everyone, my name is Shivek Narang and this is our episode of the “Our Teen Brains” podcast titled  titled ‘Brain is a Plastic Organ’

The brain is a plastic organ. NO, it is most certainly not made of plastic, that would be certainly troublesome but it is very flexible and easy to change. Everyone has of course seen materials made out of plastic and you will have noticed how easy it is to bend the plastic material, change it around, make a completely different shape. Well the brain is like that; always changing with the neurons constantly rearranging themselves. But think about it, it makes sense right. If the brain wasn’t changing how would we make memories? Feel new emotions? Record our new experiences? This is all because the brain is plastic and always changing.
