Abstract
SIERRA BENITEZ, Enrique Marcos and LEON PEREZ, Mairianny Quianella. Brain Plasticity: a neuronal reality. Rev Ciencias Médicas [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.4, pp. 599-609. Epub Oct 05, 2019. ISSN 1561-3194.
Introduction:
brain is the most complex organ discovered up to date, due to the organization and interconnection of its individual neurons.
Objective:
to analyze theoretical and experimental elements stated in the medical literature reviewed about cerebral plasticity mechanisms.
Methods:
a descriptive study was carried out based on a bibliographic review. From the theoretical point of view historical-logical, analysis-synthesis and inductive-deductive methods were applied, which allowed the analysis of the main theories generated by different experimental studies.
Development:
it has been demonstrated the existence of diverse mechanisms that allocate the neuronal rearrangement and replacement of cerebral functions, in response to diverse pathological events or as a result of learning and memory process.
Conclusions:
both animal testing and studies carried out in human being using modern non-invasive techniques support the ideas of neuronal plasticity.
