Neuroplastisity

How often is neuroplastisity noticed, over a period of days, weeks, years? Neuroplastisity is the change in brain structure as result of experience- what is the change signaled by? Is there an increase in brain size? Neurotransmitter function?

I think it's more of a functional definition as in you'll notice previously not as active areas light up when a task is being done.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
