Neuroplasticity
Tanveer Batool
Neuroplasticity is the ability of brain to live through structural and functional changes and adapt
to different learning experiences, physical exercises, or brain injury. Functional neuroplasticity
including metaplasticity and homeoplasticity play critical roles in regulating different types of
synaptic activity such as long-term potentiation, long-term depression, spike-timing dependent
plasticity etc. Structural neuroplasticity involves the dynamic changes in neuron’s structure, such
as dendrites and spines, enabling the formation and optimization of neural circuits. The aim of the
study was to investigate these processes and evaluate how these are involved in intricate
interactions between neurons and contribute to learning, memory, and network stability.
Neurotrophins are important proteins and play a very crucial role in neural development,
survival, and synaptic plasticity through receptor-mediated signalling pathways. The study
concludes that neuroplasticity is a vast field in neuroscience and continuously evolving. It offers a
promising future for understanding brain function, treating neurological disorders, and
enhancing cognitive abilities. The principles of neuroplasticity are the key to understand brain’s
remarkable ability to adapt and grow, leading to new avenues of healing and discovery.

what is neuroplasticity, and how brain changes in response to experiences, learning, memory, and/or mental health during a lifetime?
