Neuroplasticity

• Neuroplasticity


  Brain's ability to change and adapt pathways.
• Neural Pathways


  Connections that facilitate learning and memory.
• Synaptic Pathways


  Connections formed through repeated neural activity.
• Synaptic Pruning


  Elimination of unused neural connections.
• Repetition


  Reinforces and strengthens neural connections.
• Positive Functioning


  Adaptive changes leading to improved brain function.
• Negative Consequences


  Dysfunctional changes resulting from maladaptive pathways.
• Grey Matter


  Brain tissue responsible for processing information.
• Stimuli


  Environmental factors triggering neural responses.
