Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to reorganize its structure and function in response to environmental stimulation, learning, injury, or disease. This can involve changes in neuronal connections, formation of new synapses, and even the growth of new neurons in certain areas of the brain. While these changes may also affect the shape, weight, or size of brain regions indirectly, the primary focus of neuroplasticity is on changes in brain function and structure. Therefore, option B is the most appropriate choice.
