Question

Adaptability refers to the ability of the nervous system to change and adjust in response to new or changing situations. Improvising comedians need to constantly adapt to their environment by responding to audience reactions, changing their jokes or delivery, and shifting their attention between different aspects of their performance. This requires the nervous system to constantly adjust its synaptic connections, modify existing neural networks, and create new pathways to integrate new information and stimuli. Resting potential, reuptake, and polarization are important functions of the nervous system, but they are not directly related to the ability to adapt to new situations.
