Summary on Brain Plasticity Research and treatments in the neurorehabilitation field are starting to excel. It was first thought that the central nervous system could not repair itself after an injury. It wasn’t until the 1970’s that research studies showed it had the ability to heal itself to some extent. Researchers ultimately wanted to know if there was a relationship between the central nervous system and cortical plasticity so this knowledge could be used to benefit patient recovery. One
