BRAIN PLASTICITY AND NEUROREHABILITATION: POST-STROKE RECOVERY MECHANISMS AND COGNITIVE REHABILITATION METHODS

This article analyzes brain plasticity mechanisms and neurorehabilitation processes following stroke. Mechanisms of neural plasticity, including synaptic reorganization, formation of new neural pathways, and compensatory mechanisms, play a crucial role in post-stroke recovery. Neuromodulation techniques—such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), and other electro-neurotechnologies—have been shown to accelerate recovery. Cognitive rehabilitation programs aim to restore patients’ attention, memory, language, and executive functions, with individualized approaches enhancing effectiveness. The authors review recent research findings and emphasize the efficacy of an integrated approach combining brain plasticity and neurorehabilitation strategies.
