Neuroplasticity allows the brain to rewire itself after injury from "summary" of Phantoms in the Brain by V. S. Ramachandran

Neuroplasticity is the brain’s remarkable ability to adapt and reorganize itself in response to changes in the environment or injury. This phenomenon allows the brain to compensate for damage by rewiring itself to regain lost functions. When a part of the brain is damaged, the surrounding areas can take over to perform the functions that were lost. This process involves the formation of new neural connections and the strengthening of existing ones. One of the most fascinating examples of neuroplasticity is the case of patients who have suffered a stroke. After a stroke, the brain can reorganize itself by rerouting signals through different neural pathways. This allows the individual to regain some of the lost motor or cognitive functions. Through targeted rehabilitation and therapy, patients ca...
