STRUCTURAL PLASTICITY
Structural plasticity is the brain's ability to change its neural connections. New neurons are constantly produced and then integrated into the CNS (central nervous system) throughout your lifespan Researchers use nowadays use multiple imaging methods like MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and CT (computerized tomography) CT) to study the structural changes.
Structural neuroplasticity studies the effect of internal or external stimuli on the brain’s matter reorganization. The changes of the grey matter proportion or strength are examples of structural neuroplasticity.
FUNCTIONAL PLASTICITY
Functional plasticity (also known as synaptic plasticity) is the brain's ability to alter and adapt the communication between neurons. Changes often occur due to activities like:
The adult brain is not entirely hardwired with fixed neural circuits. There are cortical and subcortical rewiring of circuits in response to training as well as injury.
There is solid evidence that neurogenesis (birth of brain cells) occurs in the adult brain and persist into old age. Neurogenic evidence is centered in the hippocampus and olfactory bulb, but research says the other parts of the brain like the cerebellum may be affected. Unfortunately the degree of rewiring by introduction of new neurons in established circuits is not known and redundancy is possible.
There is evidence of active reorganization of the synaptic networks in interrelated structural like the cerebral cortex. This process is currently being studied on a molecular and ultrastructural level. Theories are being presented on how experience can influence the synaptic organization and how memory and learning are associated.

FUNCTIONAL PLASTICITY
Functional plasticity (also known as synaptic plasticity) is the brain's ability to alter and adapt the communication between neurons. Changes often occur due to activities like:
- the malfunction or damage of neurons
- the transfer of functions from one part of the brain another part for recovery of behavioral or physiological processes.
- Long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) for synaptic plasticity associated with memory.
