Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to reorganize and form new connections between neurons. This process is most evident when we learn something new or store new information. While neuroplasticity can occur throughout our lifetimes, it is particularly pronounced during periods of learning and development. A and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe when neuroplasticity is most evident. C is incorrect because the process of pruning involves the elimination of connections between neurons, rather than the formation of new ones.
