define neural plasticity
(Hljod.Huskona, 2008, February 26). Neural plasticity is one of the most important discoveries in the realm of the brain because it allows for more surgery to be done as well as allows for a more comprehensive understanding of how the functions of the brain are specified. The implications of this notion affected the study of learning and adaption.
Brain plasticityâ also called neuroplasticity-is an odd term for most people, with the word plastic causing images of Tupperware or Saran Wrap to pop into your head. However, brain plasticity is a common term used by neuroscientists, referring to the brain's ability to change at any age â for better or worse.
