What is neuroplasticity and why was its discovery significant

2 answers:

"According to the theory of neuroplasticity, thinking, learning, and acting actually change both the brain's functional anatomy from top to bottom, and its physical anatomy. Canadian psychiatrist Norman Doidge has called neuroplasticity one of the most extraordinary discoveries of the twentieth century." -?

"The brain's anatomy ensures that certain areas of the brain have certain functions. ... Part of the body's ability to recover following damage to the brain can be explained by the damaged area of the brain getting better, but most is the result of neuroplasticity – forming new neural connections." -?

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Explanation:

I can tell you that Neuroplasticity is how easily someone picks up idea's. Generally kids have more Neuroplasticity than adults. However, I don't really know the answer to the second part of the question. Hopefully it's multiple choice :)

Explain how the terms speed velocity and acceleration are related to each other

Acceleration is a little more complicated. It is defined as the rate of change of the object's velocity over its change in time. ... Or, if the acceleration is negative, it's called deceleration and describes something slowing down. For something to speed up or slow down, it has to have a certain change in velocity

When a living organism dies, it stops taking in new carbon. Thus, as the radioactive carbon-14 decays, the ratio of carbon-12 to

Alexxandr [17]

Answer: The fossil is 11459 years old.

Explanation:

Half-life of carbon-14 = 5700 years

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

$k=\frac{0.693}{5700\text{years}}$

$k=1.21\times 10^{-4}\text{years}^{-1}$

Now we have to calculate the age of the sample:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant = $1.21\times 10^{-4}\text{years}^{-1}
t = age of sample = ?
a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100 g
x = amount decayed = 75 g
a - x = amount left after decay process = 100 - 75 = 25 g Now put all the given values in above equation, we get
[tex]t==\frac{2.303}{1.21\times 10^{-4}}\log\frac{100}{25}$

$t=11459years$

The fossil is 11459 years old.
