Neuroplasticity refers to the ability of the nervous system to change or modify.

Neuroplasticity includes shorter term changes in the strength and/or efficiency of synaptic connections, as well as longer term structural changes in the organization and numbers of connections among neurons.

The parallel between neuroplasticity and learning is that any change in the nervous system that is not period and has a duration of more than a few seconds is considered neuroplasticity. This reflects the capacity of the central nervous system (CNS) to adapt to functional demands and/or reorganize.

<p>The levels of neuroplasticity include genetic (not all genes are expressed and genes themselves can modify), cellular (within cells), and systems (interactions between different parts of the nervous system) levels.</p> Signup and view all the answers
