Behavioral neuroscience researchers are interested in studying the relationship between the nervous system and behavior. Watch the short video above by Dr. Marian Diamond, and then summarize the research findings she reported. Discuss why you think that these findings reshaped how neuroscientists thought about the reciprocity between brain-behavior relationships. How did these findings contribute to our understanding of neuroplasticity?

Locate a scholarly source reporting a different example of how experience can change the brain. Discuss the key findings and why you find them interesting.
