Topic 2.8
How might understanding economics help explain why some people have more brain plasticity than others?
Economics suggests that rich people are naturally born with more brain plasticity.
Economics can shed light on resource allocation- those with greater resources may have greater opportunities for learning and brain development.
Economic principles propose that money itself can stimulate brain plasticity directly.
According to economics, there's no link between wealth or resources and neural adaptations in the brain.
