Hebbian Plasticity and Mental Health

Hebbian plasticity is not just about learning new skills like
riding a bike — it also helps your brain stay healthy. In
some conditions, such as depression or post‑traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD), the problematic symptoms can be
caused by the poor function of certain brain connections.
Imagine if the pathways between important parts of
your brain were weak or broken. When brain pathways
are weak, it can be harder to think clearly, concentrate,
or feel happy. When a person experiences stress or trauma,
Hebbian plasticity can also accidentally strengthen harmful
connections. This happens because the brain is trying to
protect itself, but sometimes it ends up strengthening neural
pathways that make a person more vulnerable to negative
emotions or stress responses. Fortunately, learning how
to strengthen “positive” neural pathways, such as those
involved in healthy coping strategies, physical activity,
or resilience, can help restore balance, improving people’s
moods and overall mental wellbeing.
