The properties of a material that allow it to be shaped and to retain its shape The plastic properties of clay are principally determined by the size of the platelets The smaller the platelets the more plastic the clay is Aging or souring is also relevant to a clays plasticity; with time bacterial action creates a colloidal gel, which aids the lubrication of the platelets
That means the ability of a material for plastic changes of the shape without material separations
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
Adaptation ability of neural circuits by connection or disconnection of parts of the circuit Ability of learning in neural circuits
Ability to be stimulated by new inputs and learn new mappings or modify existing ones
The property of a metal that enables it to deform non-elastically without rupture See Ductivity
the property of being physically malleable; the property of something that can be worked or hammered or shaped under pressure without breaking
