Define neural plasticity and explain the implications.
What will be an ideal response?
Neural plasticity refers to the fact that the brain changes in response to experience. New connections between neurons are constantly being made to register learning and other unnecessary connections are pruned away. There are many implications of neural plasticity. Neural plasticity means our brains are not hardwired, meaning we can create change in neural pathways by having certain experiences. This can be good or bad, depending on the experience. Having neural plasticity means that it is likely many gender differences (and other phenomena) may be due to experience and could potentially be changed with experience. This can give people hope because if we are aware of this, we can literally change our brains.
