The plasticity of the brain

Neuroscience research demonstrates the power of positive psychology:

• Studies showed that repetitive negative thinking causes one pattern of brain activity, while positive thoughts can produce another.
• Practices such as gratitude, mindfulness, and physical activity can change certain pathways within the brain.
• Medication can also stimulate or suppress brain activity. Martin Seligman found a combined treatment plan of medication and therapy can help patients recover sooner.
