A well-known fact about the human brain is that it is constantly evolving. Research indicates that the human brain is incredibly adaptable, able to change and grow in response to experience. The brain’s ability to change in response to experience is known as "neuroplasticity." Neuroplasticity is a process that allows the brain to rewire itself, creating new connections and pathways as we learn and grow. This process is particularly important in the early years of life, when the brain is developing rapidly. However, neuroplasticity continues throughout our lives. It’s never too late to learn something new or to change a behavior. This ability to change is what allows us to adapt to new situations and to overcome challenges. What is the most likely reason why the writer includes the term "neuroplasticity"?

A
