Neuroplasticity, also known as brain plasticity, refers to the brain's ability to adapt to changes in its environment and form new connections between neurons. It is an important function of the brain that makes it possible to adapt to new experiences and learning processes and to develop over the course of a lifetime.

Neuroplasticity occurs at all stages of life and helps the brain to adapt to changes and acquire new knowledge and skills. It is particularly important in early life when the brain develops rapidly and forms many new connections between neurons. Neuroplasticity is also important for repairing and regenerating tissues in the brain following injury or damage.

Neuroplasticity is intensively studied in modern neuroscience and has important implications for the treatment of diseases of the brain and nervous system. It can help develop new therapies that focus on the brain's ability to adapt and repair.
