Neuroplasticity
The brain’s ability to reorganize and rebuild its neural connections, allowing it to adapt and function in ways that are different from its previous state. This process can occur in response to learning new skills, experiencing environmental changes, recovering from trauma, or adapting to sensory or cognitive deficits. This adaptability underscores the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of the brain, even in adulthood. These changes range from the creation of new connections by individual neural pathways to systematic adjustments such as cortical redistribution or neural oscillations. Other forms of neuroplasticity include homologous region adaptation, cross-modal reassignment, map expansion. Examples of neuroplasticity are changes in circuits and networks resulting from learning new abilities, receiving information, environmental influences, pregnancy, calorie intake, learning, and psychological stress.
