Chapter 28, Problem 10TYK

Summary Introduction

To design: An experiment with a group of taxi drivers in a new city to examine the role of neuroplasticity on learning, assuming to have the ability to image their brains to measure changes in the volume of gray matter.

Introduction: Neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to change according to the changing environment throughout the individual’s life. In response to the change, it might be possible for an individual’s brain to strengthen and increase the number of its synapses, increase in gray matter, and form a strong connection between the neurons.
