Neuroplasticity, or brain plasticity, is the brain's dynamic ability to reorganize itself through forming and reorganizing neural connections based on experience, learning, or injury . This fundamental property allows the brain to adapt to new information, develop new skills, and recover functions after damage.

It challenges the old belief that the brain's structure is fixed after a certain age. The principle "neurons that fire together, wire together" explains how repeated activity strengthens neural networks, underscoring the importance of neuroplasticity throughout life for cognitive health and development.

Defining Neuroplasticity Scientifically

Scientifically, neuroplasticity encompasses several distinct but interrelated processes: synaptic plasticity (modification of synapse s
