In middle adulthood, plasticity facilitates brain recovery following insult, such as mild stroke.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plastos is the Greek word from which plasticity is derived from. this means molded. The brain can change the structure and its function based on the events that happens in the environment or body conditions. This capability of the brain is said to be plasticity. These changes can be done with the help of cortex, which the brain's outer layer.

This is the human ability to change the behavior and learning things accordingly. With these information brain can also restructure its functions. The brain plasticity is stronger during the childhood age.Hence this facilitates in learning things in a faster way. Plasticity during adult age helps in getting recovered form the injury that happens in brain, peripheral injury,insult, etc.
