The formation of new neurons is called a. neurogenesis b. damage and neural reorganization c. effects of experience on plasticity d. development

The correct answer is A. nuerogenesis. Hope this helps. :)

The correct answer for the blanks is-

A. neurogenesis.

Neurogenesis can be described as the process of formation of new neurons in the brain.

It occurs during embryogenesis and continues throughout the life span of an individual. In mammals, it occurs in the hippocampus region of the brain.

Neuron is considered as the basic functional unit of nervous system that helps in transmitting signals (in the form of nerve impulses)  throughout the body of an individual.

answer: the correct answer is 1.

explanation: there are various process in which a radioactive nuclei decays:

1) alpha decay: in this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. the mass number is reduced by 4 units.

2) electron capture: in this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. mass number does not change in this process.

3) gamma ray emission: it is a decay process in which an unstable nuclei gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. this decay releases . this process does not change the mass number.

4) positron emission: it is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. this is also known as -decay. in this the mass number remains same.

from the above information, we see that only alpha-decay is producing a change in the mass number of the nucleus.
