Applying principles of neuroplasticity to everyday neurological rehabilitation

Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life, allowing individuals to adapt to new experiences, learn new skills, respond to their environment, form new memories, and promote recovery after an injury or illness, like that from a neurological incident such as a stroke or a brain injury (Hart et al., 2019; Kleim & Jones, 2008; Puderbaugh & Emmady, 2022; Verma, 2023; Wolpaw, 2012).
