What 40-Hz (gamma) entrainment may tell us about neuroplasticity When people say the brain is “plastic,” they don’t mean soft like clay. They mean changeable —able to strengthen connections, re-route pathways, and learn new patterns. That ability is called neuroplasticity , and it’s the engine behind skill learning, rehabilitation after injury, and even adapting to new routines. Here’s the interesting part: neuroplasticity doesn’t happen randomly. It depends on timing —neuron

Schizophrenia isn’t only about hallucinations. For many people, the hardest day-to-day challenges are cognition and function : attention, working memory, processing speed, motivation, and social connection. Over the last couple of decades, one scientific finding has stood out for how consistently it appears: Many people with schizophrenia show reduced ability to “sync” brain activity to a fast rhythm—especially around 40 hertz (40-Hz). What is the 40-Hz test? Researchers ofte
