- Long-term potentiation (LTP) is the synaptic mechanism underlying learning — Hebb's rule in molecular form - Adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus is real but contested in extent; the cerebral cortex is mostly fixed - Stroke rehabilitation exploits residual plasticity to route functions around damaged areas ### What "Rewiring" Actually Means Popular science often overstates neuroplasticity — implying the brain can be reshaped indefinitely with the right practice. The reality is more nuanced: specific circuits show remarkable adaptability, others are essentially fixed after developmental windows close. The node maps where plasticity is real, where it's limited, and what that means for learning strategies.
