Neuroplasticity - the changes in neural pathways and synapses due to changes in behavior, environment, thinking, and emotions, as well as changes resulting from bodily injury
Synaptic pruning
Long-term potentiation (LTP)
A lasting improvement in communication between two brain cells that occurs when they are stimulated together
Dendritic branching
Neurons form a complex, tree-like structure of dendrites to receive and integrate signals from other neurons
Cortical remapping
Cortical remapping is the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections. When a part of the body is injured or no longer used, the brain can "remap" that area's function to other, healthy parts of the cortex. This process helps the brain adapt to changes, such as after injury, learning new skills, or during recovery from conditions like stroke.

Structure of the neuron
Neuroplasticity happens because the brain’s cells are built to change and form new connections. When we learn or experience something new, the pathways between these cells can strengthen, weaken, or reorganize. Over time, this helps the brain adjust, improve skills, and even recover from challenges.
