7
Q
neuroplasticity
A
- Undamaged CNS areas must assume function
- Changes supporting recovery are similar to those underlying learning in typical brains
- Compensatory behaviors develop that induce brain changes
- May be adaptive and improve function
- May be maladaptive
e.g., development of seizures - Role of some changes remains controversial
e.g., R hemisphere taking over language functions after L hemisphere damage - Using the brain (experience) induces recovery
