GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Brain connections don’t always grow and strengthen with new experiences and repetition of familiar ones.
A
False
B
True
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Synaptic growth When these small packets of neurotransmitter are released at elevated rates, they help stimulate growth of new connections, known as boutons, between the presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons. This makes the postsynaptic neuron even more responsive to any future communication from the presynaptic neuron.

Detailed explanation-2: -Neuroplasticity, also known as neural plasticity, or brain plasticity, is the ability of neural networks in the brain to change through growth and reorganization. It is when the brain is rewired to function in some way that differs from how it previously functioned.

Detailed explanation-3: -Communication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems. When you learn new things, these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger. The more that you challenge your mind to learn, the more your brain cells grow.

Detailed explanation-4: -Because as we gain new experiences, some connections are strengthened while others are eliminated. This process is known as synaptic pruning. Neurons that are used frequently develop stronger connections. Those that are rarely or never used eventually die.
