Neurophysiology Lecture 13

True or False: Brain plasticity takes place throughout the lifetime, but it is not determined by age.
True False

_____ _____: takes place under 3 primary conditions: •Development • In Normal individuals: Performance shapes neural plasticity•As an adaptive mechanism to injury

In blind individuals, the feeling of touch is aided by the _________ cortex and the _________ cortex.

________ ________ _______: –Can transiently disrupt performance when applied to a cortical region necessary for task completion through the introduction of “random noise” in the neural processes–Therefore, establish causality between task performance and brain activation by interfering with cortical function

True or False: Cortical maps can change.
True False
