brain plasticity
definition: Brain plasticity refers to the observation that both the structure and function of the brain are molded by experience much in the way that plastic is shaped by a manufacturer to suit various demands. Brain plasticity occurs during development of the nervous system, when we learn, and in response to injury. [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Development; Brain Plasticity]
