Synaptic Plasticity

Synaptic plasticity is the ability of synapses to change their strength and efficiency over time.

It occurs when connections between neurons are strengthened or weakened based on activity and experience. Frequent use of a pathway strengthens it, while less use can weaken it.

This process is essential for learning and memory, as it allows the brain to store and adapt information.

Changes in neurotransmitter release and receptor sensitivity play a key role in synaptic plasticity.

It also helps the brain adapt after injury by reorganizing neural connections.

Synaptic plasticity is not just change, it is the mechanism that allows the brain to learn, adapt, and evolve.
