Experience-dependent plasticity is the process of creating and organizing brain neurons through life repetition. When we initially learn something, we use multiple regions of the brain but with repetition of the task, we need less regions of the brain to complete it. The task becomes second nature and we can complete it without thinking about it. Learning new activities creates new networks in the brain.

During sleep, the body releases cytokines which are proteins that help fight infection, inflammation, and trauma.

Why does inflammation cause pain? Pain caused by inflammation is called nociceptive pain. It can feel sharp, dull, aching, or pricking. Inflammation is the body's way of fighting back and the body releases mediators like cytokines, histamine, and prostaglandins into the affected area. These mediators activate nociceptors (tiny nerves) and transmit pain signals to the brain.
