Neuroplasticity and the Continually Growing Brain.
Neuroplasticity and the Continually Growing Brain.
Neuroplasticity (often shortened to plasticity) includes the growth of new neuronal connections and the pruning of unused connections between neurons.
Neuroplasticity is a physical reshaping of the brain in response to life experiences and mental manipulation of information.
Plasticity growth adds new memories by linking new information to existing memory networks.

This includes the construction of more connections between neurons (dendrites, synapses, and more).
When more of these bridges connect neurons, information traffic flow is more efficient.
Neurons can share information faster.
Pruning, as the name implies, is the brain’s elimination of nerve pathways that are not being used so they won’t drain its limited supply of nutrients.
Pruning is a “use it or lose it” phenomenon.
