Role of Neuroplasticity in Neurorehabilitation

Brain has a special ability to recruit neurons (brain cells) that were designed to be used for the special skills and functions which have been lost, so that these skills and functions can be regained. The nervous system’s capacity to change its behaviour in response to endogenous or external stimuli by restructuring its routes, architecture, and functions is known as neuroplasticity. It also covers the understanding of how a brain should develop or loss the skills with age. Neuroplasticity may be described on various levels, from the molecular to the cellular to the behavioral and it occurs during development in response to environment, learning, in result to disease and therapy. The primary objective of this manuscript is to address the role of neuroplasticity in neurorehabilitation. 43 studies from various data bases (Pubmed, Cochrane, science direct and other data bases) were included in this systematic review according to inclusion criteria. The findings of these clinical studies show that training regimens based on neuroplastic changes are unique therapeutic methods for treating a range of neurological and psychiatric illnesses, and rehabilitation is a fundamental component of motor function that promotes neuroplasticity.
