Brain’s Limitations Uncovered: Scientists Debunk Long-Held Beliefs About Neural Rewiring
Recent research by Professors Tamar Makin and John Krakauer challenges the widely held belief that the brain can rewire itself to compensate for sensory losses like blindness or the effects of a stroke. Their analysis of seminal studies reveals that the brain does not create new functions in previously unrelated areas but rather enhances its pre-existing architecture through learning and repetition. This understanding is crucial for setting realistic expectations in rehabilitation and appreciating the effort behind recovery stories.
I'm not sure why it took so long for them to figure this out...I had a severe stroke almost 5 years ago and I wondered about it myself, and was there something wrong with ME that there was no improvement in all areas. And I've worked hard. Maybe now I can cut myself some slack...🙄
