Neuroplascity

I have copied the following from Wikipedia which is a very intriguing topic. I have heard about the brain actually"rewiring itsself" so this is the actual term for this process. I love the fact that the brain has this ability. It provides hope which we all need not just us Strokies. As I learn more I will continue to post updates.

Neuroplasticity (variously referred to as brain plasticity or cortical plasticity or cortical re-mapping) refers to the changes that occur in the organization of the brain as a result of experience. A surprising consequence of neuroplasticity is that the brain activity associated with a given function can move to a different location as a consequence of normal experience or brain damage/recovery.
