Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Synaptogenesis refers to the formation of new synapses between neurons. During infancy, the brain undergoes a period of rapid synaptogenesis, which contributes to the brain's plasticity or ability to change and adapt based on new experiences. While myelination, frontal lobe quality, and the formation of new neurons also contribute to brain development, they do not have as significant an impact on plasticity as synaptogenesis.
