It refers to the ability of neurons to always forge new connections. Neuroplasticity, at its essence, is the process of the brain wiring and rewiring itself.

Plasticity can be an advantage or a disadvantage, depending on the material and reason for changing it. Like elasticity it is a property rather than a value. It can mark improvement or injury, depending on whether the change it presents is valuable on that occasion, at that time, for that individual – or not.

This and other research has revealed that the somatotopic organization of the brain is plastic. In neuroscience, plasticity refers to the ability of the brain to develop new experience dependent pathways in the case of impairment or damage.

The idea is simple: while synaptic plasticity makes the brain malleable—especially in humans, where childhood lasts for fifteen or twenty years—our brain circuits remain subject to strong anatomical constraints, inherited from our evolution.

Our brains are remarkably adept at learning new ways of thinking—and our neural connections are remarkably flexible, even into old age.
