Part of rehabilitation after an injury in the brain is aimed at being able to try and rebuild connections between the nerve cells or neurons (Campbell, 2009). The rebuilding between nerve cells or neurons can provide a high chance in making it possible for a function that has been previously managed by a damaged area to be taken over by another undamaged are. I came across a very interesting video that was broadcasted on ABC, hosted by Leigh Sales. The video features Psychiatrist Norman Doidge, who is also the author of ‘The brain that Changes itself’. He has a discussion about neuroplasticity and how the brain is able to heal itself after an illness or an injury. He defines neuroplasticity as “the property of the brain that allows it to change it’s structure and function in response to activity and mental experience’ (Sales, 2015).
