Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plasticity refers to the brain's ability to change and adapt based on new experiences, learning, or injury. Thus, option B-when we learn something new or store new information, plasticity is most evident. Option A is incorrect because although some evidence suggests that plasticity may decline with age, it is still present in elderly years. Option C and D are also incorrect because they refer to the process of "undoing" or reuptake rather than the actual occurrence of plasticity.
