NEURO PLASTICITY AND FUNCTIONAL RECOVERY OF THE BRAIN

Neuroplasticity allows the brain to adapt and reorganise in response to experience, learning, and injury. Experience-expectant plasticity occurs during early development when the brain forms neural connections in response to environmental stimuli. Experience-dependent plasticity continues throughout life, allowing adaptation based on unique experiences. Functional recovery after trauma demonstrates the brain’s ability to compensate for damage, often through neural reorganisation and recruitment of undamaged areas. Explore the fascinating ways in which the brain adapts and recovers from injury
