You’ve probably experienced this yourself in daily activities and not even known that it was something as lofty as neuroplasticity or brain adaptation: driving a rental car, using a pen with a body of a different thickness than you’ve used before, cooking in someone else’s kitchen, buttoning up a new shirt, listening to someone speak in an accent you’ve never heard before. Even something as simple as drinking coffee out of a new cup that is weighted differently and has a differently sized handle than you’re used to. These are all examples of adaptive neuroplasticity.
