The characteristics of material by which it undergoes inelastic strain beyond those at the elastic limit is known as plasticity

  • Neuroplasticity, in neuroscience, how entire brain structures, and the brain itself, can change from experience
    • Synaptic plasticity, the property of a neuron or synapse to change its internal parameters in response to its history
