Neuroplasticity or the flexibility of the neural system
\r\nis the ability of the brain to adapt to the lack or deterioration of sense
\r\nand the capability of the neural system to modify itself through
\r\nchanging shape and function. Not only have studies revealed that
\r\nneuroplasticity does not end in childhood, but also they have proven
\r\nthat it continues till the end of life and is not limited to the neural
\r\nsystem and covers the cognitive system as well. In the field of
\r\ncognition, neuroplasticity is defined as the ability to change old
\r\nthoughts according to new conditions and the individuals' differences
\r\nin using various styles of cognitive regulation inducing several social,
\r\nemotional and cognitive outcomes. This paper attempts to discuss and
\r\ndefine major theories and principles of neuroplasticity and elaborate
\r\non nature or nurture.<\/p>\r\n","references":"[1] Stiles, Joan. (2008). the Fundamentals of Brain Development:\r\nIntegrating Nature and Nurture.
