The Shared Terrain of Hyperneuroplasticity, the Blood-Brain Barrier, and Functional Neurological Disorder (HNP, BBB, EDS, MCAS, POTS, and FND? WTF!!??)
Taken together, hyperneuroplasticity, the blood–brain barrier, EDS, MCAS, dysautonomia, and FND form a constellation of overlapping expressions of a body and brain that are open, sensitive, and dynamic. This reframing points toward interventions that aim to stabilize barriers, modulate immune activity, regulate autonomic flow, and most importantly, harness hyperneuroplasticity constructively through learning, creativity, and self-directed adaptation.

Stress, the Amygdala, and Hyperneuroplasticity
a hyperneuroplastic brain is like a high-speed recorder. It takes a snapshot of stressful or threatening experiences and plays them back on repeat, long after the danger is gone. That rapid wiring can be life-saving in moments of real threat, yet it also explains why stress can leave such deep grooves, making it harder to shake habits of fear, vigilance, or avoidance once they’ve been learned.

Monotropism and Hyperneuroplasticity
Taken together, this lens shows that depth, adaptability, and vulnerability are not separate traits but interconnected expressions of the same neural architecture. Monotropism sets the direction of attention, and hyperneuroplasticity may help explain the magnitude and persistence of its impact.
