  2. Neuroplasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroplasticity

    Neuroplasticity, also known as neural plasticity or just plasticity, is the ability of neural networks in the brain to change through growth and reorganization. Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to reorganize and rewire its neural connections, enabling it to adapt and function in ways that differ from its prior state.

  3. Neuronal sprouting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuronal_sprouting

    It is both the growth of new branches or extensions from existing neurons in response to injury or disease. This process is a form of neuroplasticity, which allows the brain to rewire itself and adapt to changes in the environment. Neural sprouting is thought to play an important role in recovery from brain injury, where the brain compensates ...

  4. Activity-dependent plasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activity-dependent_plasticity

    Activity-dependent plasticity is a form of functional and structural neuroplasticity that arises from the use of cognitive functions and personal experience. [1] Hence, it is the biological basis for learning and the formation of new memories.

  5. Neuroplasticity is the ability of your brain to make new neural pathways, and change the ones that already exist, in response to changes in your behavior and environment.

  6. Developmental plasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developmental_plasticity

    Much like neuroplasticity, or brain plasticity, developmental plasticity is specific to the change in neurons and synaptic connections as a consequence of developmental processes. A child creates most of these connections from birth to early childhood.

  7. Synaptic plasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synaptic_plasticity

    Synaptic plasticity rule for gradient estimation by dynamic perturbation of conductances. In neuroscience, synaptic plasticity is the ability of synapses to strengthen or weaken over time, in response to increases or decreases in their activity. [1]

  8. Long-term depression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_depression

    STDP is a form of neuroplasticity in which a millisecond-scale change in the timing of presynaptic and postsynaptic spikes will cause differences in postsynaptic Ca 2+ signals, inducing either LTP or LTD. LTD occurs when postsynaptic spikes precede presynaptic spikes by up to 20-50 ms. [24]

  9. Perceptual narrowing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceptual_narrowing

    Perceptual narrowing is a developmental process during which the brain uses environmental experiences to shape perceptual abilities. This process improves the perception of things that people experience often and causes them to experience a decline in the ability to perceive some things to which they are not often exposed.
