Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neural pathways in the brain are not genetically predetermined but are shaped by experiences. This is known as neuroplasticity, and it allows the brain to adapt to new situations and learn new skills. Myelination of neural pathways continues throughout childhood and adolescence, and some may continue to be strengthened into adulthood through use and practice. There is no evidence that neural pathways become randomized as we age.
