Split Brain Surgery- seizure prevention II. Plasticity: brain changes with experience, connections are flexible a. Ex: London taxi drivers experiment: found that experience driving throughout thelarge city of London had made the taxi drivers’ hippocampi larger than those in the control groupb. If brain wasn’t plastic, couldn’t learnc. Decreases with age; especially if you don’t use your brain!d. Use it or lose it! End of BrainIII. Memorya.
