- Malleability: the property of being physically malleable; the property of something that can be worked or hammered or shaped without breaking
- Neuroplasticity (also known as cortical re-mapping) refers to the ability of the human brain to change as a result of one's experience, that the brain is 'plastic' and 'malleable'. ...
- In physics and materials science, plasticity describes the deformation of a material undergoing non-reversible changes of shape in response to applied forcesJ. Lubliner, 2008, Plasticity theory, Dover, ISBN 0486462900, 9780486462905.. ...
- The quality or state of being plastic; the property of a solid body whereby it undergoes a permanent change in shape or size when subjected to a stress exceeding a particular value (the yield value)
- The capacity of the brain to change its structure and function within certain limits. Plasticity underlies brain functions such as learning and allows the brain to generate normal, healthy responses to long-lasting environmental changes.
- Long-term adaptive mechanism by which the nervous system restores or modifies itself toward normal levels of function.
- The ability to be formed or molded; in reference to the brain, the ability to adapt to deficits and injury.
- Unproven notion that tissue stem cells may broaden potency in response to physiological demands or insults.
- When subject to sufficient shearing stress, any given body will be deformed. After stress is removed, if there is no recovery, the body is completely plastic. If recovery is complete and instantaneous, the body is completely elastic. A balance between the two is required.
