Neuroplasticity in the Brain

One of the major concepts in functional neurology and hemispheric integration therapy is the concept of neuroplasticity. Thus, whenever I find some information relating to plasticity I like to share it with you. Once again, the video is not related to the treatment of a child with an autism spectrum disorder but is a good example of plasticity and how the brain can rewire based on the circumstances presented to it. In this video the girl has a surgery where half of her brain is removed. Whenever I find examples such as this I like to remind parents of children with autism that if the child in this video can function as well as she does with half a brain then certainly there is great potential for your child with autism who has their entire brain.
