neuroplasticity

A man paralyzed from the chest down regained hand movement and sensation through brain implant technology, maintaining these abilities for months after stimulation ceased. Researchers attribute this to neuroplasticity, where the brain rerouted neuronal connections.

A study reported by The Economist suggests that becoming a father is associated with a reduction in the size of the cerebrum, a brain region linked to higher-order functions. The finding highlights potential neuroplasticity in parental roles, though the long-term implications remain unclear.
