Question:

Is your brain plastic?

People say your brain is plastic why is that?

Answer:

Maybe the one sitting on the end of your pencil is but as for the one in your skull. I'm pretty sure that is a bunch of fleshy tissue.
No your brain is made out of other stuff.
lol it means it can change a lot. For example, some parts of the brain can take over the functions of other parts of the brain if they are damaged. Some parts of the brain can become more interconnected if we use them a lot. In other words, our brains are not fixed but rather have plasticity.
Brain plasticity or neuroplasticity is the lifelong ability of our brains to re-organize neural pathways based on new experiences. In the area of learning, for example, we acquire new knowledge and skills through instruction or experience. It was once thought that children and young adults were the only ones able to have a good, plastic brain and there was the belief that the older you get the less likely or harder it is to learn new things, but recent studies have proven that that is not true. Also, people who have brain injuries may have a less plastic brain, but with proper brain exercizes it is possible to gain much of the brains neuroplasticity back.
your brain is tissue, neurons, and blood vessels, and glial cells. there is absolutely no plastic in your brain at all.
