Recent advancements in science have altered the way neurologists view the human adult brain. 25-years ago, common theory believed retraining or "reorganizing" brain activity was impossible after adolescent years, and/or limited by an individual’s age. Neuroplasticity (neu.ro.plas.tic.i.ty) is a process enabling individuals of all ages to relearn motor skills, new behaviors, or physical movement. This non-invasive procedure reorganizes or reconditions functions including connections between nerve or neural networks. Because of these evolved theories, individuals who have previously succumb to mobility impairment from strokes, or a lifetime of conditioned behaviors, quite possibly have the ability to strengthen or adjust synapses (the connections between the nerve cells) and relearn new functions.
