Neural Plasticity
Plasticity - reorganization of the brain and neurons in response to experience and damage.
Brain regions associated with particular motor movements and sensation are larger in highly trained musicians and athletes.
People who are born blind may have the regions of their brain associated with vision repurposed for other sensory processing.
Neurogenesis (creation of new neurons) occurs in response to brain injuries or illness.
Practice: Neural Plasticity
Amelia has been blind since birth. What would you expect to see on an fMRI scan of her occipital lobe?
