Feb 11, 2014 at 0:29 comment added Janus Bahs Jacquet Ah, it was a typo! In my scientific naïveté, I presumed neuropastic was probably just a fancy medical term I'd never heard before. Neuroplastic would probably yield far fewer blank stares, I'll admit. And no thoughts of pasties (which, incidentally, are quite delicious, @nxx).
Feb 11, 2014 at 0:25 comment added anongoodnurse @JanusBahsJacquet -lol,and I've no doubt you're right. (You did help me see a typo though.) Right now, I am among a number of people who love discussing neuroplasticity; it's a very hot topic, believe it or not. :) People believed for so long that as we aged, we lost brain function. To discover neuroplasticity in the elderly is, well, wonderful.
Feb 11, 2014 at 0:23 comment added nxx @JanusBahsJacquet But it is "neuroplastic" response. Would this still elicit thoughts of pasties (are they that bad?)?

Feb 11, 2014 at 0:20 comment added Janus Bahs Jacquet While I've no doubt this is perfectly accurate and correct, I have a feeling the most common response to anyone using the phrase neuropastic response in conversation would be a blank stare, possibly accompanied by the word “Huh?”. Or, if you're in the UK, perhaps rather by the phrase, “Hmm. I could go for a pastie right now…”.
