Neural plasticity refers to the ability of the brain to change throughout its lifetime. This change is expressed in terms of change in the proportion of grey matter, strengthening or weakening of synapses and the transfer of functions to different locations. Such changes can be witnessed at the microscopic level of neurons to large-scale changes such as cortical remapping during an injury. Evidence shows that the plasticity of the developing brain is more than an adult brain. An important aspect of neuroplasticity is the transfer of brain activity from one location to the other. This occurs during repair from brain injury and serves as the basis of the treatment of acquired brain injuries. Rehabilitation techniques supporting neural plasticity are being explored. The topics included in this book on neural plasticity are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. It includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to neural plasticity. It is a vital tool for all researching and studying this field.
