The capacity for continuous alteration of the neural pathways and synapses of the living brain and nervous system in response to experience or injury. Neuroplasticity comprises not only the formation and storage of memories, but also such phenomena as neuromodulation and sensory adaptation to environmental changes. Mechanisms contributing to neural plasticity include rewiring of neuronal circuits, generation of new neurons, remodeling of dendrites, synaptic plasticity, and plasticity of neuronal excitability.[1]
