Principles of Cortical Plasticity in Peripheral Nerve Surgery.

This article provides an overview of the principle mechanisms of synaptic, neuronal, cortical and subcortical neuroplasticity, with special attention to cortical and subcortical modifications-as suggested by modern neuroimaging techniques-after peripheral nerve surgery. The main nerve transfer techniques for the superior extremities and their effect on cortical plasticity are also described. PMID: 32359164 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
