ABSTRACT

The brain is the most important organ of human body. It is dynamic in terms of functional and structural aspects. Each human function is determined by brain. It was thought in the beginning that brain or its tissues do not regenerate once they are damaged. The recent research in neurosciences has shown that brain tissues have the ability to regenerate themselves. This phenomenon is known as neuronal plasticity. There have been multiple mechanisms which explain this phenomenon. Post injury experiences, neurochemical and neurophysiological aspects are some of the underlying mechanisms. The current paper attempts to explain the neurophysiological aspects of neuroplasticity. It has significant therapeutic implications.
