brain plasticity

Question 1

plasticity

Answer 1

refers to our brains ability to physically change in response to experience and learning

Question 2

developmental plasticity

Answer 2

occurs in response to ageing and learning associated with maturation

Question 3

developmental plasticity infancy

Answer 3

the number of neuronal connections greatly increase through the processes of synaptogenesis

Question 4

developmental plasticity adolescence

Answer 4

neuronal connections are refined and reduce greatly in number

Question 5

frontal lobe development infancy

Answer 5

the synaptic density in the frontal lobe increases along with the size of the lobe increasing

Question 6

frontal lobe development adolescence

Answer 6

the process of synaptic pruning and myelination occur in the frontal cortex, this development contributed to emotional maturity

Question 7

developmental plasticity synaptogenesis

Answer 7

Process of forming new synapses between the brains neurons which occur in developmental plasticity.

Question 8

developmental plasticity myelination

Answer 8

The formation of myelin around the axons of the neurons

Question 9

adaptive. plasticity

Answer 9

occurs in response to the need to adapt such as in response to brain trauma or injury

Question 10

adaptive plasticity sprouting

Answer 10

the ability for a neuron to develop new branches on the dendrites or axons, usually when the neuron has been damage
