Solution

The term neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. This allows the neurons (nerve cells) in the brain to compensate for injury and disease and to adjust their activities in response to new situations or to changes in their environment. It does not refer to the composition of brain matter, the durability of brain tissue, or the way in which the brain functions like a computer. Neuroplasticity is a fundamental issue that supports cognition, learning, memory and recovery from brain damage.
