2. Repairing damage - right hem takes on language if left hem damaged
3. Substitution of function - babies w/o corpus callosum can still coordinate 2 sides of brain



Sprouting ANSW ✔✔ Axon branches grow new connections to compensate for damaged
neurons



Neurogenesis ANSW ✔✔ New neurons are generated
Only in hippocampus and olfactory bulb
