BOOK AN APPOINTMENTBrain is the flexible, adoptable and dynamic structure functionally. However Structurally remains static in terms of neurons, and their axons with its gross structure. Different areas of the brain are densely connected with fibres called commissures and fascicles. Depending upon the distance they are called long, short , Arcuate etc. Each neuron has short tentacles called Dendrites and long one called Axon.The number, size and length of the dendrites keep changing. Functionally brain is quite dynamic. For each task or type of work brain creates a new circuit, that as a fundamental circuit for that particular task.
The circuit keeps refining itself with practice and experience becoming sharper and smarter. There by we are able to perform the task at ease with time and perfection. It can make the circuit more robust with added functions to the primary circuit. Thus one will be able to scale up the performance in terms number as well as complex tasks. This is essentially the learning process. Once learnt brain creates permanent circuits for each such tasks or skills. Thus one can go on increasing the number as well as type of tasks acquiring more and more skills. This process begins right from child hood and goes on all through the life. This adoptability is also known as neuronal plasticity.
Child starts adopting to various environments right from the day one. Then on for each task learning brain creates a specialised, specific circuit. Some of these disappear as purpose is completed and others get replaced by the newer ones. Mind creates a thought that is received by the dendrite. The thought will create an idea which will get converted to a specific task. Each task will have learning, memorising and execution process. This in turn gets refined by the available stored information in the brain either memory or previous experience. Each such entity will become one functional circuit. That is how each task learnt will get executed without any effort.
As it is performing it can refine the skill sets by modifying and relearning. Then the entire information will be stored for the future use. So “what you think you will become” is true to a great extent. The entire world is created by the thought itself. Thought, ideation, execution has built the modern world. Apart from natural learning process, plasticity also helps in relearning. This phenomenon helps in restoring the functions or skills of in brain diseases such as stroke, head injury or any kind of insult that occurs to the brain. Even in adults every new situation or environment the adoption takes place almost instantly. Complex situations need more time and effort. This repetitive process will. Relate a sort of personality. Even professionals develop such circuits for executing complex professional as well as day to day tasks.
To a great extent this can be modified by altering or refining g the thought process. The influence of thought is so much that can make or break the system. Therefore it is important to mould the young minds to right systems and practices. These circuits are formed for every single task regardless of their purpose. Thus a good thought can lead to good deed and vice versa. A thief by constantly planning his act develops a specific circuit. If one realises that stealing is wrong that can be erased once and for all. If not this can become an established circuit making him to do the complex acts and bigger robberies building the expertise. On the other hand good deeds continue to build different circuits that helps the society. The environment, parenting, peer supervision, suggestion and guidance play a significant role. Eventually a culture is built adopting good circuits.
The same phenomenon is the basis for artificial for intelligence and machine learning. Thus these super computers kept learning and storing each task of learning adding newer ones constantly. As we use more and more gadgets the machines are becoming smarter and our own brains are getting limited in efficiency. Prior to introduction of mobile phones one can remember few telephone numbers. To day eve their own mobile number people are becoming dependent. No doubt artificial intelligence and gadgets are useful. They can do at a faster speed and can handle bigger volumes than the brain. But the risk we are going to face is constantly reducing the original efficiency of the human brain unless delegated to much better tasks constantly. Machines do not have fatigue phenomena. It is certainly an added advantage when used selectively and effectively. However none of these can match the ability of our mind’s thinking, discriminating and decision making. This demands human intervention as on today.
The adoptability or the plasticity can be utilised in improving normal brain function, adding more skills, refining thought processes for the benefit of the society at large. Once thinking is changed perception changes automatically. This can build a better society. Adopting the thought process to the human welfare can retire the brain circuits and once the circuits become functional and permanent they can build a better system to help the humanity at large. Removing the hatred, comparison, jealousy can inculcate non selfish attitude right from the young age. Young minds are reasonably mouldable as they are not totally conditioned. This is way to build better society. On the other hand wickedness and crooked thinking can only destroy the moral values and increase criminality in general. Therefore imposing values, good principles in the younger age can enhance right thinking adopting the brain towards such objectives and goals. This must be the basis for all the service organisations. Kindness and helping attitude can simply build such beautiful circuits in the brain making everyone compassionate.
