• Definition: Neuroplasticity is the fantastic ability of your brain to reshape and change during your life.
• How? By creating or getting rid of connections (called synapses) between neurons (brain cells).
• Brain Yoga: Imagine the brain is like Play-Doh. If you practice new skills or have new experiences, the Play-Doh gets molded into new shapes. Likewise, the brain changes its structure based on experiences!

• Genetics: Like a computer software update, our brain has its pre-programmed growth stages.
• Environment: Think of a soccer player who gets a head injury or when you learn to play the guitar. Your brain will adapt!

🔬 Different Levels of Neuroplasticity 🔬

• Micro Level - Synaptic Plasticity: One neuron tweaking its connections.
  • Cool Fact: The famous saying, "neurons that fire together, wire together" means that if neurons work together frequently, they get closer. On the other hand, "neurons that fire out of sync, fail to link" means if they're not working in harmony, they might drift apart.
• Macro Level - Cortical Remapping: Imagine a city where a library (Brain area X) burned down, and then the nearby school (Brain area Y) takes over its functions. Same concept!
