stress and brain plasticity
Stress and brain plasticity refer to the relationship between stressful experiences and the brain's ability to adapt and change. Brain plasticity is the brain's capacity to reorganize its neural connections in response to new situations or learning. When exposed to stress, the brain can undergo plastic changes that can be both adaptive or maladaptive, affecting cognitive, emotional, and behavioral processes.
