Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
As a result of learning and new experiences, the brain modifies its neural pathways by:
A
increasing the number of neurons.
B
decreasing the number of neurons.
C
changing the structure of the axons within neurons.
D
changing the strength of the synaptic connections between neurons.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to form new connections and pathways and change how its circuits are wired; neurogenesis is the even more amazing ability of the brain to grow new neurons (Bergland, 2017).

Detailed explanation-2: -Neuroplasticity, also known as neural plasticity or brain plasticity, is a process that involves adaptive structural and functional changes to the brain.

Detailed explanation-3: -These changes range from individual neuron pathways making new connections, to systematic adjustments like cortical remapping. Examples of neuroplasticity include circuit and network changes that result from learning a new ability, environmental influences, practice, and psychological stress.

Detailed explanation-4: -When you are learning, important changes take place in your brain, including the creation of new connections between your neurons. This phenomenon is called neuroplasticity. The more you practice, the stronger these connections become.
