    Background:

    • The adult mammalian cerebral cortex exhibits significant neuroplasticity, allowing for adaptation and functional recovery.
    • This review examines plastic changes following peripheral denervation and central trauma, highlighting compensatory mechanisms.
    • Understanding neuronal mechanisms underlying cortical plasticity is key to addressing nervous system dysfunction.

    Discussion:

    • Cortical plasticity encompasses adaptive changes in neuronal response properties, essential for nervous system function.
    • Mechanisms of compensatory plasticity after peripheral denervation and central trauma are detailed.
    • Common principles governing various forms of cortical modifications are discussed.

    Key Insights:

    • Neuroplasticity is fundamental to nervous system function, enabling lasting changes in neuronal responses.

  • Compensatory plasticity in the adult cerebral cortex can be induced by both peripheral and central insults.
  • Training across sensory modalities offers therapeutic potential for correcting maladaptive cortical maps.

    • Outlook:

    • Further research into the neuronal mechanisms of cortical plasticity can guide therapeutic interventions.
    • Exploiting neuroplasticity through targeted training may improve functional recovery after neurological injury, such as stroke.
    • Understanding the rules of cortical modification can lead to novel strategies for rehabilitation and treatment.
