Neural pruning
When the brain gets rid of excess synapse and neurons
Brain reorganization
Ability to adapt and reconstruct and it is when the brain have a completely new environment or set up
Neural connections
Pathways formed by synapses between neurons forming communication
Gray matter
Process sensation, learning, cognition
White matter
Allows exchange of information throughout brain
Re uptake
When released neurotransmitters are reabsorbed by pre synaptic neuron

Production of new neurons
Split brain
