Neuroplasticity

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Neuroplasticity is the nervous system's capacity to reorganize its structure and connections in response to experience or injury.

Show

After a stroke damages a motor region, neighboring tissue gradually takes over part of the lost function.

Watch for

Plasticity has limits that vary with age and with the structure involved. It is a capacity, not a guarantee.
