ABSTRACT

 

Knowledge of the neurobiological bases of behavior, and above all, mastery of the tools necessary for its modification, is essential for addressing numerous types of pathologies with clinical and social impact. Outside of the clinical setting, the prison rehabilitation system has arguably been the most neglected throughout the history of the republic in our country. Promoting innovative alternatives under the full weight of scientific evidence is a clear path to progress, thereby generating a better society, addressing the undeniable rise in the crime rate we all face every day. Shaping neurogenesis through enriched environments is a tool with promising results. People can change; we only need to change our approach to offer them even a chance for the common good of society.
