The healthy adult brain retains a certain capacity for plasticity and functional reorganization throughout the life span. Morphologic, neuropsychological and neuroimaging studies have demonstrated that neuronal connections and cortical maps can be remodeled by our experience and activities. Activity-induced increase in neuronal connections may to some extent compensate for neuronal loss during aging. Increased knowledge of the potential capability of the adult brain to compensate for brain lesions is likely to improve rehabilitation strategies.
健康的成人大脑在整个生命周期中都保留着一定的可塑性和功能重组能力。形态学、神经心理学和神经影像学研究表明，神经元连接和皮质图谱可因我们的经历和活动而重塑。活动诱导的神经元连接增加在一定程度上可能补偿衰老过程中的神经元损失。对成人大脑补偿脑损伤潜在能力的了解增加，可能会改善康复策略。
