Topic covered:
You’ll explore how neuroplasticity allows the brain to adapt, form new connections, and strengthen or weaken existing ones as you learn new things. Discover how brain cells (neurons) communicate, how synapses and neural circuits change over time, and how these changes shape learning, memory, and brain development.
This course is tailored to accommodate various skill levels and is suitable for beginners.
