neuroplasticity Flashcards
1
Q
What is neuroplasticity
A
Is the adaptive capabilities of the CNS and its ability to alter structure and organisation for function
2
Q
How does neuroplasticity occur
A
Unmasking of dormant pathways: Dormant pathways become more effective than the original ones cannot be used due to injury or illness
Formation of new synapses: Adjecty neurons release new axons in order to strengthen neuronal pathways
