Plasticity Genes
Plasticity genes refer to a group of genes that play a crucial role in regulating the brain's ability to adapt and change in response to various stimuli and experiences. These genes are involved in processes such as synaptic plasticity, learning, memory formation, and neural development. They are essential for shaping the connections between neurons and are implicated in various neurological and psychiatric disorders. Plasticity genes are key players in the brain's ability to reorganize and rewire itself, allowing for adaptation to new environments and experiences.
