The impacts of neuroplasticity on brain recovery after injury
Neuroplasticity refers to the brain’s remarkable ability to adapt and change. It refers to the physiological changes in the brain caused by our interactions with the outside world. The connections between the cells in our brains reorganize in response to our changing needs from the time the brain begins to develop in utero until the day we die. Because of this dynamic process, we can apply what we’ve learned to new situations. Neuroplasticity, without a doubt, influences how the brain heals after injury. In fact, it serves as the foundation for a large portion of our physical and mental rehabilitation methods.
