Preferred term

experience-dependent plasticity  

Definition

  • Experience-dependent plasticity refers to changes in the anatomical or functional organization of the nervous system as a consequence of sensory input or motor output. This can be at the anatomical level of how different neurons project from one area to the next (e.g., how neurons from the eye send their axons to the brain).
