Key Concepts

Neural Plasticity

The brain’s ability to reorganize itself in response to new experiences or learning is crucial for understanding how knowledge is processed and stored.

Synaptic Pruning

The process by which the brain eliminates unnecessary neural connections, refining its structure and function.

Neurotransmitters

Chemical messengers that facilitate communication between neurons, essential for various cognitive functions.
