Neuroplasticity and Learning: The Relationship Between the Changing
Structure of the Brain and Learning Processes
Abstract
Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's lifelong capacity for change and is central to learning processes. Thanks to neuroplasticity, connections between nerve cells can strengthen or weaken, new connections can form, and the brain can change structurally. These processes enable individuals to acquire new skills, store information, and adapt to various environmental demands. The purpose of this article is to examine in depth the relationship between neuroplasticity and learning, explain the biological mechanisms of neuroplastic changes, and discuss how this information can be integrated into educational and rehabilitation practices.
Additionally, age-related changes in neuroplasticity and its potential in the treatment of neurological disorders will be evaluated.
Keywords: neuroplasticity, learning, brain, mechanism, ability, knowledge, skills
