Clinical Application of Brain Plasticity in Neurosurgery

Alison Ho et al. World Neurosurg. 2021 Feb.

Abstract

Brain plasticity is an ongoing process of reorganization not only on the macroscopic level but also from underlying changes at the cellular and molecular levels of neurons. This evolution has not yet been fully understood. The objective of this paper is to review and understand neuroplasticity through the review of literature, imaging, and intraoperative evidence.

Keywords: Brain plasticity; Eloquent cortex lesion; Intraoperative mapping; Learning; Memory; Neuroplasticity; Post-lesional plasticity.
