neural flexibility

Reflects the brain’s ability to adapt to changing cognitive demands. Represents dynamic changes in synaptic weights within and between brain regions (as measured by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signal variation over time). Higher neural flexibility is associated with cognitive flexibility, and reduced neural flexibility is associated with cognitive rigidity, although cognitive and neural flexibility are distinct concepts.
