Neuroplasticity (Developmental)

Which part of a neuron receives signals from other neurons or sensory receptors?

• Myelin Sheath
• Dendrites
• Axon
• Soma

What is neuroplasticity?

• The ability of neurons to store memories
• The ability of neurons to communicate with muscles
• The ability of neurons to change and adapt in response to experience
• The ability of neurons to regulate body temperature

What is the importance of neuronal messages in brain processing?

• To regulate body temperature
• To produce hormones
• To store memories
• To transmit information around the body

What is the region that includes the axon terminals of the presynaptic neuron, the synaptic gap, and the dendrites of the postsynaptic neuron called?

• Myelin Sheath
• Soma
• Synapse
