Neuroplasticity and neurorehabilitation: Harnessing the brain's ability to recover and adapt
Author(s): Robert Thompson*
Neuroplasticity, the brain's remarkable ability to reorganize and
adapt, plays a crucial role in neurorehabilitation. This review explores
the concept of neuroplasticity and its relevance to neurorehabilitation,
focusing on how harnessing the brain's adaptive capacity can
facilitate recovery following neurological injuries and diseases.
We discuss the mechanisms underlying neuroplasticity, including
synaptic plasticity, neurogenesis, and functional reorganization.
Furthermore, we highlight the role of neurorehabilitation techniques,
such as physical therapy, cognitive training, and non-invasive brain
stimulation, in promoting neuroplasticity and enhancing functional
recovery. Understanding the principles of neuroplasticity and
employing targeted neurorehabilitation interventions can optimize
rehabilitation outcomes and improve the qualit.. View More»
