Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. This process is crucial for recovery after a stroke, as it allows healthy areas of the brain to take over functions previously performed by damaged regions.
Through targeted rehabilitation, patients can stimulate neuroplasticity and regain lost motor skills and cognitive functions. Understanding these mechanisms is key to developing effective therapy plans.
