Brain Plasticity Mechanims Underlying Stroke Recovery

Author: M. Fourtassi, A. Hajjioui

Category: Mini Review

Abstract:

Spontaneous recovery represents the only hope of regaining autonomy, for the majority of stoke victims especially in developing countries like Morocco. This recovery is mainly based on the brain's reorganization capacities, referred to as "adaptive plasticity". Rehabilitation is one of the most powerful modulators of brain plasticity that, if well administered, can improve post-injury recovery.
