Unlock the Power of Your Brain.
Neurologic dysfunction is now the leading cause of disability in the United States, affecting 1 in 2 Americans at some point in their lives. Yet despite powerful advances in neuroscience and neuroplasticity, it can take up to 17 years for new research and treatments to reach everyday care.
Rewiring Hope: The Neuroplasticity Summit 2026 exists to close that gap.
Hosted by the Neuroplasticity Alliance (NPA), this free, 4-day virtual summit brings together lived experience, clinical practice, and emerging technology to help individuals find treatments that can accelerate their recovery, regain cognition, reduce pain without medication, and find emotional balance—generating hope that is grounded in science.

Summit Daily Overview
Rewiring Hope: The Neuroplasticity Summit 2026 is a four-day virtual experience designed to explore how neuroplasticity is transforming brain and nervous system health.
Each day focuses on specific neurological challenges and is explored through lived experience, technology innovation, clinical application, and applied neuroplasticity, creating a comprehensive and actionable learning experience.
Day 1 – Restoring Cognition
Brain Injury & Alzheimer’s
📅 March 16, 2026
This day centers on cognitive health, including traumatic brain injury and Alzheimer’s disease. Sessions will explore how neuroplasticity supports cognitive restoration, slows decline, and enhances quality of life. Attendees will learn about emerging research, clinical approaches, and personalized interventions aimed at restoring and preserving cognitive function.
Day 2 – Recovering from Stroke
Neuroplasticity, Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) & More
📅 March 17, 2026
Day Two focuses on stroke recovery and the brain’s capacity to reorganize and relearn after injury. Topics include motor recovery, speech and cognition, nervous system regulation, and advanced recovery tools such as vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) and other neurotechnology-driven approaches that are accelerating rehabilitation outcomes.
Day 3 – Minimizing Persistent Pain
Neuroplasticity & Immersive Technology Combinations
📅 March 18, 2026
This day explores persistent and chronic pain through the lens of the nervous system and learned pain pathways. Sessions will highlight how neuroplasticity-based approaches, immersive technologies, and multi-modal interventions are helping individuals retrain pain responses, improve function, and reduce reliance on traditional pain management strategies.
Day 4 – Mastering Emotional Balance
Anxiety, Depression, Ketamine & More
📅 March 19, 2026
The final day focuses on emotional regulation and mental health, including anxiety and depression. Discussions will examine how neuroplasticity supports emotional balance through nervous system regulation, innovative therapies, and emerging treatments such as ketamine-assisted approaches—alongside complementary strategies that promote resilience and long-term mental well-being.
Learning Pillars
Each day features four expert perspectives, offering a balanced and integrated view of neuroplasticity in action:
Lived Experience
Gain inspiration and practical insight from individuals sharing personal journeys of recovery supported by neuroplasticity-based interventions and practices.
Technology Innovation
Discover emerging technologies that advance brain and central nervous system restoration, expanding awareness of innovative tools supporting neurological health and recovery.
Clinical Tech Expert
Learn from experienced clinicians who share real-world success applying science-backed technologies in the treatment of diverse neurological conditions.
Applied Neuroplasticity
Explore hands-on, non-technological approaches used by practitioners to target each day’s focus area, offering adaptable techniques for everyday and clinical application.

A New Narrative for Recovery
The discovery of neuroplasticity allows us to move beyond the language of limitation.
You may have been told:
-
"You’ve reached a plateau." (Actually, neuroplasticity is a lifelong capability.)
-
"Just manage the symptoms." (Why manage when you can fundamentally rewire?)
-
"This is your new normal." (Your "normal" is still being written by your brain's incredible ability to adapt.)
The Power of Self-Advocacy:
Understanding the tools available to you is your greatest strength. You are the CEO of your own recovery. Explore the cutting-edge interventions that give you the controls. From personalized brain training systems that adapt to your progress and non-invasive neurostimulation that wakes up dormant pathways, neuroplasticity-'based interventions allow you to move from "management" to mastery.
Learn Practical Strategies:
We will cover practical strategies for restoring memory, boosting cognition, and reducing persistent pain without heavy medication. Learn how to address depression and anxiety using breakthrough approaches that empower you to take back your life.
