Brain plasticity, also known as neuroplasticity, refers to the brain's ability to change its structure and function throughout life. It involves modifying existing connections between neurons or forming new ones.
Synaptic pruning is the process by which unused or weak synaptic connections are eliminated during development, allowing stronger connections to flourish.
Experience-dependent Plasticity: Experience-dependent plasticity occurs when specific experiences shape neural circuitry in response to environmental demands.
Rehabilitation: Rehabilitation refers to therapeutic interventions aimed at restoring lost functions due to injury or illness through targeted exercises that promote brain plasticity.
