What does the term "neuroplasticity" in reference to the human brain mean?
What are "specific example" of aspects of the human brain that retain elements of "neuroplasticity" as the human brain ages?

Neuroplasticity allows the neurons (nerve cells) in the brain to compensate for injury and disease and to adjust their activities in response to new situations or to changes in their environment. The brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life.
Neuroplasticity is an attribute of a healthy and diseased brain. Neuroplasticity is the basis of cognition, control of functions and adaptation of the organism in natural conditions at different ages. Neuroplasticity is the basis of reparative processes in the pathology of the brain in different periods of life.

Neuroplasticity is the capacity of the brain for change and reorganisation. This is both, functional and structural. A good example of plasticity and ageing is that capacity of the brain to learn new things throughout life. However, because of sensitive periods, some things are easier to learn early during development.
