Brain Plasticity
Brain Plasticity, or neuroplasticity, is the brain's ability to continuously change. The brain continues to create new connections, rewiring, adapting and repairing itself in a multitude of situations.
Disciplines, or concentrations in Brain Plasticity include:
- Aging
- Cognitive Neuroscience
- Development
- Learning and memory
