Neuroplasticity Substrate refers to the foundational molecular and cellular environment within the central nervous system that must be adequately supported to enable the brain’s capacity for structural and functional reorganization. This substrate must be robust to facilitate learning and adaptation. It is the material basis for brain change.
Origin
Originating in advanced neuroscience, substrate denotes the underlying material components necessary for a process to occur, in this context, the physical and biochemical milieu supporting synaptic formation and pruning.
Mechanism
This substrate is fundamentally dependent on the availability of neurotrophic support, such as BDNF, and a favorable hormonal milieu that promotes neuronal health and dendritic arborization. Optimized bioenergetics ensures that the creation and maintenance of new neural connections are energetically feasible for the system.
