What is synaptic pruning?

• The growth of new synapses
• The removal of unused synapses
• The strengthening of all synapses
• The damage to neural pathways

What is the function of myelin?

• To slow down neural signals
• To speed up neural signals
• To generate neural signals
• To block neural signals

What is neuroplasticity?

• The ability of the brain to change and adapt
• The rigidity of neural connections
• A type of neurotransmitter
• A brain disease

What is the function of the frontal lobe?

• Memory storage
• Vision
• Higher-order thinking and decision-making
• Auditory processing

What is neural plasticity's role in brain damage?

• It worsens the damage
• It has no role
• It helps the brain adapt and recover
• It triggers more damage

What is an enriched environment in the context of neural plasticity?

• A setting with limited educational materials
• A setting with a variety of educational stimuli
• A setting without any stimuli
• A setting with harmful stimuli

What is a deprived environment in the context of neural plasticity?

• A setting with limited educational materials
• A setting with a variety of educational stimuli
