Answer: The correct answer is Plasticity.

Explanation: Neural plasticity can be explained as the ability of the Nervous system to rewire its connections.

Example of plasticity:

<u>Areas of the brain can get damaged by strokes, by trauma or by age. This causes those brain areas to lose their functions.</u>

<u>When this happens another part of the brain gets enabled to replace or take over the functions of the damaged areas. </u>

In this particular case, the fact that Lolita was able to recover from the injury shows the plasticity of her nervous system.
