Neuroplasticity: Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to change and adapt throughout an individual's lifetime. It enables learning, memory formation, and recovery from injury.
Synaptic Pruning: Synaptic pruning is the process by which unnecessary connections between neurons are eliminated in order to streamline neural communication. It helps refine neural circuits in adult brains.
Myelination: Myelination is the process by which axons are coated with a fatty substance called myelin, which increases their speed of electrical transmission. Myelination continues into early adulthood, enhancing efficiency in adult brains.
