age-related plasticity

Age-related plasticity refers to the brain's ability to adapt and change throughout life, even as we get older. While this capacity is often stronger in youth, our brains still retain some flexibility in adulthood and old age. This means that learning new skills, forming new memories, or recovering from injuries are possible at any age. However, the rate and extent of these changes may decrease over time. Overall, age-related plasticity highlights the ongoing potential of the brain to adjust to new experiences, challenges, and environments, contributing to lifelong learning and adaptation.
