Expecting to fundamentally change how the entire brain is wired after a certain age is generally considered highly unlikely. While the brain retains some capacity for plasticity throughout life, the most significant and rapid changes occur during childhood and adolescence. As individuals mature, neural pathways become more established and ingrained through repeated experiences and learning, making large-scale rewiring much more difficult. Attempting to drastically alter these well-established neural connections later in life often requires extraordinary effort and time, with limited results. Consequently, most people find it challenging to significantly reshape their cognitive patterns or mental habits once they have passed a certain age, emphasizing the importance of early development and consistent learning during formative years.
