Biology on Instagram: "Neuronal plasticity in action ⬇️ Neuronal plasticity is the brain's ability to change and adapt its structure and function in response to experience, learning, or injury. This involves the formation of new neural connections, the strengthening or weakening of existing ones, and in some cases, the birth of new neurons. It is crucial for learning, memory, and recovery from brain damage, and it occurs throughout life, not just during development. 📹 by ASTARmicroscopy (yt) #b
