Neuroplaticity Flashcards
neuroplasticity
ability of neurons to change function and chemical type over time
3 types of neuroplasticity
habituration
long term potential
long term depression
cortical remappins
habituation
exsposed to constant stimuli
decreased response to a reported benign stimulus
long term potential
AMPA receptors move to the membrane because neural pathways that are used more oftern become stronger
long term depression
AMPA receptors move back to the cell body because they aren’t used as much so the neural pathway is weaker
cortical remmaping
more brain area is devoted to areas that need more senstivity
nerons that aren’t used will be used in other pathways
stages of learning
cognitive
associtative
autonomous
what are the key factors to practice
specifity- similar to test scenarios (PRECEPTUAL CHARACTIERSITCIS, PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS/ COGNITIVE PROCCESSING)
intensitiy
distribution of practice
performance variability
motor imagery
neural recovery in the CNS
non exsitance
once neuron dies it can’t be reapired
neural recovery in the PNS
can occur as long as the cell body isn’t damaged
