One of the most remarkable properties of the brain is its capacity to adapt at a functional and structural level in response to our environment and life experiences—it’s what allows us to learn, create memories, acquire skills, and adjust our behavior. This malleability of the brain is known as neuroplasticity or brain plasticity.Until recently, it was believed that it was mostly at a functional level—through synaptic plasticity—that the adult brain could change. But the development and refinement of brain imaging technology has indicated that neuronal networks in the adult brain retain the ability to structurally remodel their connectivity—through synaptic remodeling

During the development of Qualia Resilience, Neurohacker Collective put our newest product to the test to find out how users would respond. Spoiler Alert: Results were really good.†*How the Pilot Study WorkedSeventeen adults completed the pilot study. All participants had a moderate-to-high amount of self-rated stress before taking Qualia Resilience.The study was four weeks long. Participants were asked to take two capsules of Qualia Resilience in the morning, with or without food, following a five-days on, two-days off dosing schedule (i.e., they took the product for twenty days over the four weeks).Prior to beginning supplementation, and after taking the supplement

A cognitively rich and physically active lifestyle can be very beneficial for brain health and cognitive performance. Underlying these effects is one of the most important properties of the brain: brain plasticity, or neuroplasticity, is the brain’s capacity to adapt based on life experiences and it’s what allows us to learn and become more skilled with practice. Brain plasticity acts at a functional level by adjusting the functional properties of existing neurons and synapses through molecular changes, and at a structural level through changes in neuronal morphology, neuronal connections, glial cells, and other dynamic adjustments in cellular structures. To learn about
