What is plasticity in biology
GeneralClass 12AllAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
Plasticity is the term used to describe brain’s behaviour over its course of development. Plasticity stands for modification in neuron distribution or even function over time depending upon usage.. People who use a certain area of the brain more may have more connections in that area of the brain compared to others. This has been recorded multiple times. Certain areas of brain involved in spatial understanding increase in size for cab drivers. People who can’t hear or see, dedicate the usual areas for hearing or sight to other functions. This is the reason you get better at a task with practice.
