Neuroplasticity is an inherent characteristic of the nervous system to reorganize itself by creating new neural connections in response to factors or stimuli, such as learning, experience, or injury.

Changes in the neural network occur through four distinct processes.

The growth of dendrites and axons increases the structural complexity of the brain.

Synaptogenesis fosters new synaptic connections, enhancing communication pathways between neurons.

Pruning eliminates excess neurons and connections, optimizing neural networks for efficiency.

Lastly, myelination enhances signal transmission, which is crucial for quick and efficient brain activities.

Learning new skills, such as musical training, expands the brain's network through additional synaptic connections and strengthens existing ones.
