Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The ability of the nervous system to recognize structures and connections between neurons in response to stimuli is called ____
A
Neurotransmitter
B
Neuroplasticity
C
Neuro-conductivity
D
Neuro-activity
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The ability of neurons to modify the strength of existing synapses, as well as form new synaptic connections, is called neuroplasticity. Defined in this way, neuroplasticity includes changes in strength of mature synaptic connections, as well as the formation and elimination of synapses in adult and developing brains.

Detailed explanation-2: -Neuroplasticity is shown in four different categories in children and covering a wide variety of neuronal functioning. These four types include impaired, excessive, adaptive, and plasticity.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are at least four major forms of functional neuroplasticity that can be studied in humans: homologous area adaptation, cross-modal reassignment, map expansion, and compensatory masquerade.
