Plastic Brain
Digital photograph
When the brain adapts and changes according to new information, it is said to be plastic. Brains must be plastic, otherwise we would be unable to learn. However, a brain is slightly different from the 3D printed, plastic brain cell I’m holding in this picture. From looking at a brain slice under a microscope, to utilizing new technologies like 3D printing, to physically holding something which is smaller than a pin head, we have to be plastic and adapt by drawing connections no one has thought of before.
