- NOTE FROM TED: This talk, which was filmed at an independent TEDx event, appears to fall outside TEDx’s content guidelines. The speaker’s claims around neuroscience and energy are not supported by credible scientific evidence. The guidelines we give our TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t...
Is it possible for us to rewire our brains? Yes, says neuroscientist André Vermeulen. Take his example of a woman in China who was admitted to hospital because of a neurological condition. Tests revealed that, astonishingly, her brain was missing a cerebellum - a part of the brain that gives us balance, coordinated movement, and controls certain aspects of our speech. The cerebellum is also home to fifty percent of the brain cells of humans, so it’s clearly not an insignificant part of our physiology. Amazingly, other than some persistent nausea and vertigo, the woman led a functionally normal life. So, how did her brain compensate? How was it possible that someone could have a relatively full life with half of their brain cells missing? Well, according to André, the brain has a remarkable ability to rewire itself, and it does so specifically so that we can survive and thrive in our worlds. All we need to do is put in the time and intensity that it takes to carve new neurological pathways, that will lead to our desired outcomes, and allow us to out-think our circumstances. This phenomenon, called neuroplasticity, means that it is possible for our brains to replace old negative behaviour patterns with new constructive alternatives, whatever they are. André drives the point home with a list of the three things we need to do to change our brains. By taking control of our thoughts, he says, we can shape who we become. Dr. André Vermeulen is founding member and CEO of Neuro-Link, a boutique consultancy utilizing applied neuroscience to develop talent, increase performance and maintain wellness. He is a global thought leader in how neuro-agility can improve performance. André has developed and patented cutting edge neuro-agility assessments and applied neuroscience learning solutions that are used by children in education, and adults in business and sports across the globe. He has published more than 43 leading articles on the development implications of the brain and mental health. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Thank you… I’m battling a neurological disease called spinocerebellar ataxia. It has been difficult for me to do this in the past, because I seen generations before me with this condition suffer. However recently I’ve been facing some personal challenges in addition to this health one and I have been doing just what he said in this video prior to seeing it. I see a change.. I’m believing for a miracle and I expect to experience it. Thank you so much. Glad my brother shared this with my sister. 😊
Take some lions mane mushroom omega 3 6 9 and seamoss with a little salt on it etc. I can say more but.
It’s not simply informative, it’s so motivating as well. Thank you sir.
this is one of the best videos about neuroplasticity I have ever seen, specially on YT. It's combined with actioning and I love it. Thank you
I was told all my life there was "something wrong with me". I was "clearly smart" so I was labeled "lazy". Looking back, it's amazing what all I've accomplished with those messages. At age 62, i was actually given a diagnosis of autism. Learning that made my entire life understandable. I now look at all I've accomplished with not only no support around the wiring of my brain, also obstacles being deliberately put in my way.
I still work on accomplishing what I want, within the workings of my particular brain, and while I still have the messages inside of "there's something wrong" and "i'm lazy", it seems my next project is to change those messages. what might i accomplish if i succeed?
I am your sister
"..Putting labels on Others, and Ourselves.."
What you think about and dwell on..
you Become.
Thank you for sharing this information. It is Perfect confirmation.
This is the ONLY ted talk i need :)
the best explanation i've come across so far.
Thankyou!
There can be done a lot of things with neuroplasticity, it is sad that not more doctors wanna know about it, so many people can be helped with it. There is this case with a woman, she he had to take medication for an illness that destroyed the part in her brain which was responsible for balance control while walking and so on. She couldn't walk anymore because of the strong vertigo and dizzyness, her head was spinning all the time. Thanks to neuroplasticity she learned to rewire her brain and thanks to these new created neuronal connections she learned to walk again and could even ride bicycle after it.
I am not saying that neuroplasticity is a cure for everything, but it has a lot of potential and can do a lot of good stuff for people. Too bad that most doctors don't wanna know more about it.
Thank you, thank you thank you Mr. Vermulen , TED talk team, and CZcams.

This is an excellent way of explaining Brain in the most practical way. Rewiring brain is the pathway to live the life of your thoughts.
One of the greatest TED talks so far! Thank you!
Wonderful speech ever I heard.. Thankful🙏

I'm so glad I have watched this clip. Thanks so much for the presentation!!
Absolutely great message and delivery! Thank you
Excellent talk yet again - the brain/mind is so powerful and we all have the power to use it better with some changes - thank you for this incredible information.
I seen in another video on here taking about the same thing and mentioned that serotonin increases your neuroplasticity
Thanks to tedx i think tedx need to increase time to 30 min so they have more time to explain and give knowledge
Brilliant presentation! Thank you. I appreciate you for investing yourself in this topic. Cheers!
Very insightful!!🙌🏽 Worth listening to several times!!🙌🏽👏🏽🙌🏽
Great lessons. Thank you
What a wonderful lecture!! I believe this knowledge is going to be game changing for me.
Thank you.....
Great explanation
A very illustrative and motivating talk. Thank you very much!👍
Thank you so much for your valuable speech. This is worth listening
Very inspiring speech! Thank you so much!
Amazing speech. Love this, Thank you
What Andre neglected to mention in his talk was the way neuroplasticity affects the whole body. Anyone who's ever watched the wheel-chair division of the L.A. marathon can see the effects. The entries may not have the use of their legs, but their arms are some big guns
What a powerful message!!!
Fantastic and intriguing !
Awesome presentation👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Neuroplasticity which is really a great powerful weapon in whole over the universe... 🔥✌
Very good talk absolutely loved it and learned a lot.
This was powerful
Wow! Woww! 🔥 thank you for every single insightful story
Amazing talk 👍👍
Excellent! 👏👏👏
Perfect message for me today
this is great
loved it
Great!
Wow...just wow
Awesome
What happened to her cerebellum, where did it go or how did it leave the building?
Good talk thanks. Good to know we have some top neuroscientists locally. The Nelson Mandela analogies didn't quite do it for me but got the gist of the message and will certainly be looking up his Neuro Link!
👏 Bravo
There’s more studied with people with only half a brain and graduating college and functioning now. It’s a lot of work but it can be done
Amen

See it, say it, sort it.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Why don't ted make a video about homophobia in India?
I made a whole Church sermon out of this, based on Romans 12:2
Bj
The doctor's lecture is great,however he is breathing so fast he needs to diet and exercise neuroplasticity will help him a lot..
Put in practice your Neuroplasticity, Rewire your eating habits papi
apparently this was not yet something he wanted to change
