n.名词 noun
  1. 1
    • : the capacity of the nervous system to develop new neuronal connections: research on neuroplasticity of the brain after injury.

Examples

  • That’s bad news, given that “sleep is linked to neuroplasticity, memory, and learning,” says Catherine Kier, director of the Pediatric Sleep Disorders Center at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital.

  • This is known as neuroplasticity, and it’s how our brains develop through childhood and adolescence.

  • What’s more, EEG studies revealed greater functional connectivity involving the prefrontal cortex, suggesting a boost in neuroplasticity in the region.

  • These negative changes ultimately come down to a stress-induced decrease in neuroplasticity—a loss of cells and synapses instead of the growth of new ones.

  • One possible explanation for this phenomenon is a built in system in our brains, called homeostatic neuroplasticity, which makes sure that neural activity remains stable.

  • Neuroplasticity is a real thing and you can actually increase your overall intelligence.

  • Yes, the neuroplasticity of our brains does cause it to physically change as a result of its interaction with technology.
