GlossaryNeuroplasticity

brain's ability to reorganize and form new neural connections

Neuroplasticity, also known as brain plasticity or neural plasticity, refers to the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. This adaptability allows the brain to compensate for injury, adapt to new situations, and respond to changes in the environment, learning, and experience.
