a. children who have portions of their damaged brain surgically removed
Explanation:
Brain Plasticity refers to the ability of the brain to change throughout life. It is the adaptive capacity of the CNS (Central Nervous System), is the ability to modify the structural and functional organization in response to experiences (environmental stimuli). The human brain has the incredible ability to "self-reorganize" through new connections between nerve cells, called neurons. Plasticity is of great benefit to children who have had to surgically remove an injured part of the brain, because their brain will reorganize and lessen the side effects that the surgery may have caused.
