This repetitive firing of the neurons essentially teaches them to be more active on their own. Just as a piano student will practice playing a song for 15 minutes a day until their fingers just "learn" how to play the song, the neurons eventually learn how to function and fire properly. After several weeks of TMS treatment, the neurons have developed proper activity and functionality.

Gratitude's effect on the brain not only puts us in a healthier and happier state through the chemical release of a hormone called dopamine, it keeps the gray matter of your brain functioning and can change the molecular structure of your brain.

Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to morph, change, and heal. This is utilized in learning and after injury. Each neuron is connected to a number of different neurons through synapses. These synapses, or connections, are made weaker or stronger with experience.
