After Terry lost a finger in an industrial accident, the area of his sensory cortex devoted to receiving input from that finger gradually became very responsive to sensory input from his adjacent fingers. This best illustratesA. phrenology.B. neurogenesis.C. plasticity.D. tomography.

Respuesta :

Plasticity [OPTION C] best illustrates terry's condition when he lost a finger and Thanks to plasticity, Terry's brain adapted to repeated use of adjacent fingers, and his brain responded to it.

What is Plasticity?

  • brain plasticity is the ability of neural networks in the brain to change through growth and reorganization. That's when the brain is rewired to work differently than it used to.
  • The ability of the brain to achieve permanent structural changes in response to environmental demands not fully met by the organism's current functions.
  • Plasticity refers to altered patterns of cognitive behavior.
  • Greater susceptibility to distractions and reliance on executive control, are known to increase with age. The development of cognitive plasticity depends on neuronal plasticity mechanisms.
  • It s the ability to shape, mold, or change. Neuroplasticity is therefore the ability of the brain to adapt or change over time by creating new neurons and building new networks. Scientists believed that the brain stopped growing in childhood.

thus option c is the correct answer.
