Abstract
Neuroplasticity, encompassing synaptic, structural, and functional plasticity, forms the biological basis of the brain's ability to retain information, improve cognitive function, and memory. Synaptic plasticity, which involves changing the connections between neurons at synapses, creates the foundation for memory formation and maintenance. Through phenomena such as Long-Term Potentiation (LTP) and Long-Term Depression (LTD), synaptis-synapses can increase or decrease strength, allowing the formation of long-lasting memory traces. Structural plasticity, which involves changes in the physical structure of neurons and brain tissue, including the formation of new dendrites, synaptic branches, and even neurogenesis. This demonstrates the brain's capacity to actively renovate itself, form new connection pathways, and improve responses to the environment and learning. Functional plasticity indicates the brain's flexibility in changing the functions and tasks of specific brain areas in response to activity or learning.
