Neural plasticity describes the nervous system&#8217;s ability to change.All learning processes in healthy and sick people are based on this principle. Through various internal and external stimuli, new connections can be created in the brain and strengthened by repetition or weakened by disuse. As a result of this process, entire areas of the brain can change and adapt to the respective demands.The brain is, in a way, a bit like a plant that can grow, regenerate, and change.Neuronal plasticity in rehabilitationThe impact of neural plasticity in rehabilitation is crucial for regaining essential skills. If our nervous system is stimulated or overstrained, it adapts to the increased demand. Following an injury to the human cerebral cortex, there are critical time windows during which the nervous system is particularly malleable.These phases and the training that takes place during them are essential to the success of rehabilitation. At living brain we take advantage of these biological principles. We stimulate brain areas in a way that is designed to stimulate brain plasticity and bring back lost abilities.OUR USER-EXPERIENCE [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-235840","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/livingbrain.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/235840","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/livingbrain.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/livingbrain.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livingbrain.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livingbrain.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=235840"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/livingbrain.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/235840\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":240151,"href":"https:\/\/livingbrain.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/235840\/revisions\/240151"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/livingbrain.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=235840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
