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.

Neuroplasticity
1.3K
Neuroplasticity reflects the brain's remarkable capacity to adapt and evolve, responding dynamically to learning, experiences, or injury by reorganizing its neural circuitry. This reorganization involves creating new neural connections and refining old ones through a series of biological processes that contribute to the brain's lifelong development and adaptability.

Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic...
