Psychology AQA - biopsychology - the brain - functional recovery - AO1/AO3

Explore the complexities of neuroplasticity in functional recovery after trauma. This summary covers key concepts such as cortical remapping, denervation supersensitivity, and the implications of age on recovery. Learn about the limitations of neural adaptation, including phantom limb syndrome, and the potential for rehabilitation through targeted therapies like constraint-induced movement. Ideal for psychology students studying biopsychology and cognitive neuroscience.
