Cerebral plasticity refers to the ability of the brain and nervous system in all species to change structurally and functionally as a result of input from the environment. Learning is the ability to acquire new information or skills through instruction or experience.Memory is the process by which information acquired through learning is stored and retreived.For an experience to become part of memory , it must produce persistent structural and functional changes that represent the experience in the brain.This capability for change associated with learning is termed as plasticity. Nervous system plasticity underlies our ability to change our behavior in response to stimuli from the external and internal environments. It involves changes in individual neurons as well as c...
