A student researching the brain has taken notes:
• The brain contains approximately 86 billion neurons • Neurons communicate through electrical and chemical signals • Different brain regions specialize in different functions • The brain uses about 20% of the body's energy • Neuroplasticity allows the brain to reorganize throughout life
The student wants to explain the brain's ability to adapt.
The human brain contains approximately 86 billion neurons.
Neurons communicate through both electrical and chemical signals.
Neuroplasticity enables the brain to reorganize and form new neural connections throughout life, allowing adaptation to new experiences and recovery from injury.
The brain uses about 20% of the body's total energy.
Correct Answer: C
Choice C. Neuroplasticity enabling reorganization explains adaptation ability.
