Neuroplasticity
Neuroplasticity is a fundamental and critically important mechanism of neuronal functioning by which the brain receives and processes information while adapting and modifying itself in an interaction of its genetically determined variations and environmental stimuli. The paper presents an overview of elementary mechanisms of neuronal plasticity, particularly at a molecular level, as well as of their possible transformation into more complex brain activity.
