bifurcations and synaptic plasticity
Bifurcations refer to critical points or junctures in a system where a change in one variable can cause a major shift or branching in its behavior or outcomes. It represents a point of decision or divergence. Synaptic plasticity, on the other hand, pertains to the ability of the connections between neurons (synapses) to change and adapt over time in response to experience or stimuli. It allows for the strengthening or weakening of these connections, enabling the brain to learn, remember, and process information.
