neuroplasticity

Examples of neuroplasticity in the following topics:

• Neuroplasticity

  • Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to create new neural pathways to account for learning and acquisition of new experiences.
  • Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to create new neural pathways based on new experiences.
  • Neuroplasticity has replaced the formerly held theory that the brain is a physiologically static organ, and explores how the brain changes throughout life.
  • The role of neuroplasticity is widely recognized in healthy development, learning, memory, and recovery from brain damage.
  • In fact, neuroplasticity is the basis of goal-directed experiential therapeutic programs in rehabilitation after brain injury.

• Cognitive Development in Childhood

  • Neuroplasticity is also an important aspect of early childhood development.
  • Also known as brain plasticity, neuroplasticity is an umbrella term that refers to changes in neural pathways and synapses caused by changes in behavior, environment, neural processes, thinking, and emotions—as well as changes resulting from bodily injury.
  • The concept of neuroplasticity explores how the brain changes over the course of a lifetime and how different areas of the brain can evolve and adapt over time.
  • The role of neuroplasticity is considered important to healthy development, learning, memory, and recovery from brain damage.

• Neural Correlates of Memory Storage

  • However, scientists have gained much knowledge about neuronal codes from studies on neuroplasticity, the brain's capacity to change its neural connections.

• Cerebral Hemispheres and Lobes of the Brain

  • Additionally, neuroplasticity (the ability of a brain to adapt to experience) enables the brain to compensate for damage to one hemisphere by taking on extra functions in the other half, especially in young brains.
