The ability of the neural networks to change is termed as neural plasticity. The circuits and networks in the brain can grow and reorganize when learning a new ability, due to environmental influences, psychological stress and practice. Brain plasticity can be observed throughout adulthood. However, a developing brain shows a higher degree of plasticity than the developed brain of an adult. Activity-dependent changes in the neural circuits occur during the time of brain development, or a critical period when the individual is sensitive to the effects of experience. Neural plasticity is an upcoming field of science that has undergone rapid development over the past few decades. This book discusses the fundamentals as well as modern approaches of this field. The extensive content provides readers with a thorough understanding of the subject.
