ok i might be going crazy but neurons do not regenerate right? or "grow"?
bc i was doing a kaplan bs section test and the passage based question was:
the statement that the somatosensory cortex can reorganize depends on what assumption:
A. neurons grow and make new connections
B. neurons with no sensory input atrophy over time
i was stuck between both answers, because the passage says neurons make new connections, yet i know from background info that neurons do not grow. so am i supposed to use background information or information from the passage if they conflict?
ps. i chose B but the right answer was A.
