The brain exhibits neuroplasticity, the capacity to be modifiable by experience. Over the last decade there has been an explosion of knowledge in the field of neuroplasticity. New brain stimulation techniques are being designed to enhance neuroplasticity and several neuromodulatory trials are underway to enhance behavioral gains from rehabilitation. An understanding of neuroplasticity is essential for the practicing neurosurgeon since a lot of the drugs neurosurgeons prescribe affect neuroplasticity and a lot of neurosurgical diseases will be treated by therapies which modulate plasticity. In this article we review fundamental concepts of neuroplasticity for the practicing neurosurgeon.
大脑具有神经可塑性，即能够被经验所改变的能力。在过去十年中，神经可塑性领域的知识呈爆炸式增长。新的脑刺激技术正在被设计以增强神经可塑性，并且多项神经调节试验正在进行中，以提高康复过程中的行为改善效果。对于执业神经外科医生而言，理解神经可塑性至关重要，因为神经外科医生所开的许多药物都会影响神经可塑性，而且许多神经外科疾病将通过调节可塑性的疗法来治疗。在本文中，我们为执业神经外科医生综述神经可塑性的基本概念。
