Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The scenario described in the question suggests that the brain area previously responsible for input from a lost sense (hearing) has adapted to processing input from another sense (vision). This phenomenon is an example of neuroplasticity, which refers to the brain's ability to reorganize and adapt to changing sensory, motor, or cognitive demands. Choice A is the best answer. Neurogenesis refers to the formation of new neurons and is not directly relevant to the scenario described. Lateralization refers specifically to the distribution of neural processes between the brain's left and right hemispheres and is not directly relevant to the scenario described. Cognitive neural prosthetics involve the use of devices to restore or enhance neural processes, and although some prosthetics may impact brain plasticity, this is not directly relevant to the scenario described.
