Abby. It was later discovered that the paint she

order to understand the relative risk of lead
exposure on Abbi's development?
1b)Elana was born with cataracts, which made
her completely blind. When she was 14 years-old
she underwent surgery to remove the cataracts,
which allowed visual input to be transmitted to
her brain for the first time. However, even though
the surgery was a success, Elana's vision was
never fully functional. i) Describe how the
features of neural plasticity might help to explain
why Elana's vision was not restored. ii) Propose
one factor that might have increased the chance
that Elana would develop the ability to see, and
briefly explain why.
