What makes up our Central Nervous System? How is the brain structured and how do neurotransmitters affect it?Describe the concept of neuroplasticity, and provide an example of how your own life experience may have influenced a specific part of your brain to be more developed than most people. How does your life experience change the way in which this part of your brain works? What impact has this had on the rest of your brain? Your actual behavior?

Finally, which neurotransmitters do you believe were most active in your brain during the completion of this behavior, and why?(200 words include references)
