    Glossary Synaptic Plasticity

    ability of synapses to change strength based on activity

    Synaptic plasticity refers to the ability of synapses, the connections between neurons in the brain, to strengthen or weaken over time in response to increases or decreases in their activity. This process is fundamental for learning, memory, and overall brain adaptability, as it allows the neural network to reorganize and optimize its function based on experiences and new information.
