CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM PHYSIOLOGY AND NEUROPLASTICITY
Abstract
This article explores the fundamental mechanisms of central nervous system physiology and the processes of neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity refers to the ability of nerve cells to adapt to external stimuli and experiences, playing a crucial role in learning, memory, and recovery after injury. The findings indicate that neuroplasticity persists not only during childhood but throughout life, offering expanded opportunities for treatment and rehabilitation in various clinical conditions.
