| Description: |
The mechanisms of brain plasticity include: a change in the balance of excitation and inhibition; a long-term potentiation or long-term depression; a change in neuronal membrane excitability; the anatomical changes-formation of new axon terminals and new synapses. There are few tools for brain plasticity investigations. The utility of the neurophysiologic in the determination of brain reorganization and repair in patients with cerebral palsy (CP) are described. The authors discuss also their results of quantitative EEG, visual evoked potentials (VEPs) and somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) in children with CP. They showed the existence of brain reorganization and repair in children with CP. Key words: brain plasticity, cerebral palsy, EEG, visual evoked potentials, somatosensory evoked potentials. The term plasticity, derived from the Greek word “plaistikos” meaning “to form ” refers to the brain’s ability to learn, remember and forget as well as its capacity to reorganize and recover from injury [1,2]. Children have a remarkable ability to recover from early brain injuries as demonstrated by their ability to recover receptive language after left hemispherectomy |
