The Biological Basis of Behavior textbook did an excellent job explaining neural plasticity. Neural plasticity is the brain's ability to change in response to the organism's experience's and environment (Morris, 2013). However, this video went more in detail and explanation. For instance, this video detailed synaptic pruning which is the process of getting rid of unused connections that we don't have a use for any longer. The brain also is able to re-use connections for instances of short term memory. When learning new things your neurons actually make entirely new synapses. I enjoyed the example used in the textbook of the Rosenzweig experiment of lab rats. Rats living in enriched environments with a variety of objects showed
