Neuroplasticity

No.Neuroplasticity ...

Miracle? Charlatanism? Neither. But a method which makes use of "neuroplasticity", this faculty which is still little known. Yes, the brain can reshape itself.

Neuroplasticity or neuronal plasticity or cerebral plasticity - can be defined as the set of manifestations reflecting the ability of neurons to modify and reshape throughout life. The human brain is as malleable as clay, not only during early childhood, as we have known for a long time, but also when reaching old age. It is fascinating to discover how well the brain is able to compensate for deficiencies and lesions on its own, to repair itself, but also to develop and improve. The most amazing scientific revolution of the 21st century ...

All these mechanisms contribute to an adaptation of neurons to an extremely changing molecular, cellular and functional environment and consequently to functional modifications.

But plasticity can also be implemented during pathological processes in response to a lesion and involves, by necessity, a reorganization of neuronal interactions in order to best preserve the functional capacities of the system
