Q

What signals drive plasticity during learning in the intact brain? And does these differ from those involved in relearning in the damaged brain?

(Kleim 2011)

A

Neural and behavioural signals

They are the same

2
Q

Kleim defines neuroplasticity as?

Kleim 2011

A

The capacity of neutrons to structurally and functionally adapt in order to reorganise circuits

3
Q

Functional improvements after an injury are simple?

Kleim 2011

A

A re-learning process

4
Q

What are three neural strategies for motor improvement after brain injury? (According to Kleim 2011)

A
  1. Restoration: Rehabiliation training that forces the use of avoided movements to re-engage neural circuits, reinstate movement representations, and synapse be restored
  2. Recruitment: enlisting motor areas that have the capacity to contribute to the lost motor function
  3. Retraining: adapt existing function or take on additional functions
