Synaptic Plasticity Improvement

Meaning

Synaptic Plasticity Improvement refers to the enhancement of the brain’s capacity to strengthen or weaken synaptic connections in response to activity, which is the cellular basis for learning and memory. This function is highly dependent on the availability of neurotrophic factors and specific neurosteroids within the central nervous system environment. Optimal plasticity is a marker of a well-supported neural network.
