Neuroplasticity or brain plasticity refers to the brain's ability to change and adapt as a result of experience. It comprises the brain's capacity to reorganize pathways, create new connections and generate new neurons. There are two types of neuroplasticity, namely, functional plasticity and structural plasticity. Functional plasticity involves the brain moving its functions from a damaged area to an undamaged area. Structural plasticity involves the brain changing its physical structure as a result of learning. Neuroplasticity allows the brain to adapt and change leading to the ability to learn new things, enhance the existing cognitive capabilities, recover from brain injuries, and strengthen its functions. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments in relation to current research in neuroplasticity. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies, and advanced studies on this topic have been included in it. This book will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
