Studies of neural reorganization in adult mammals make an important point: Neural reorganization
A) can start to occur very quickly (i.e., within minutes).
B) can, if given enough time, be of substantial magnitude.
C) is extremely rare.
D) is the mechanism of recovery of function after brain damage.
E) both A and B

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies of neural reorganization in adult mammals show that it can start to occur very quickly (within minutes) and can, if given enough time, be of substantial magnitude. Therefore, both option A (can start to occur very quickly) and option B (if given enough time, be of substantial magnitude) are correct, making option E the best choice. Option C (extremely rare) is not true as neural reorganization is a common process. Option D (recovery of function after brain damage) is partially correct as neural reorganization is one of the mechanisms of recovery, but not the only one.
