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.
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 .
Plasticity (physics), in engineering and physics, the propensity of a solid material to undergo permanent deformation under load; Behavioral plasticity, change in an organism's behavior in response to exposure to stimuli; Neuroplasticity, in neuroscience, how entire brain structures, and the brain itself, can change as a result of experience
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] Since memories are postulated to be represented by vastly interconnected neural circuits in the brain , synaptic plasticity is one of the important neurochemical foundations of learning ...
Neural plasticity refers to any change in the structure of the neural network that forms the central nervous system. Neural plasticity is the neuronal basis for changes in how the mind works, including learning, the formation of memory, and changes in intelligence. One well-studied form of plasticity is Long-Term Potentiation (LTP). [6]

The hippocampus regulates memory function. Memory improvement is the act of enhancing one's memory. Factors motivating research on improving memory include conditions such as amnesia, age-related memory loss, people’s desire to enhance their memory, and the search to determine factors that impact memory and cognition.
The effects of psychedelics on neuroplasticity appear to be dependent on serotonin 5-HT 2A receptor activation, as they are abolished in 5-HT 2A receptor knockout mice. [7] Non-hallucinogenic serotonin 5-HT 2A receptor agonists, like tabernanthalog and lisuride, have also been found to increase neuroplasticity, and to a magnitude comparable to ...
