Question 1 of 5
Neurons interact with each other in complex ways, forming networks. Which statement is true regarding neural networks in the brain?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because during the teen years, the brain undergoes significant changes in neural connections. New connections are formed through processes like synaptic pruning, which strengthens important connections and eliminates unnecessary ones. This dynamic phase is crucial for learning and adapting to new experiences. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because neural networks in the brain are not static and unchanging. The brain continues to reorganize and adapt throughout life, with myelination increasing to improve signal transmission efficiency, not decreasing as in choice D. Choice C is also incorrect as brain size does not significantly increase during the teen years, but rather the focus is on optimizing existing neural connections.
