Neural Plasticity Science

Meaning

Neural Plasticity Science is the study of the brain’s remarkable intrinsic capacity to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections, strengthening existing ones, and adapting its structure and function throughout life in response to experience, learning, and injury. This dynamic capability is the biological basis for all learning and memory, and it is fundamentally modulated by the endocrine system. Maintaining high levels of neuroplasticity is essential for cognitive reserve, emotional resilience, and the sustained functionality of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) and gonadal (HPG) axes.
