Does anyone believe in Neuroregeneration or Neuroplasticity

Sorry if this does not makes sense:

Definition:

Neuroregeneration - refers to the regrowth or repair of nervous tissues, cells or cell products. Such mechanisms may include generation of new neurons, glia, axons, myelin, or synapses.

Neuroplasticity - is the process in which your brain's neural synapses and pathways are altered as an effect of environmental, behavioral and neural changes.

Say for example a person has a neuro pathway that allows them to move their left arm to throw a baseball. Then, they have a stroke and are unable to throw a baseball, but they do rehab and are then able to throw a baseball again. What has happened is that the brain found a new route to perform this task.

If this is possible for people who suffer a stroke and throw a baseball, could a person with autism force their social neuro pathways to reroute and fire appropriately?






Here is something I like and wrote it from a movie/youtube video

What I do is I sometime rewrite things from movies/you video in order to become a better spelling and faster typer.

I know it has alot of mistakes in it but here it is:

Your brain is like a circuit switch. Once you believe you are something, you actually embody it, you embody that feeling. If you were, for God forbid, in a coma and you wake up, and you didn’t really have a memory of who you were and you were told you were a navy seal, and that you were told that they want you back now, when you’re healthy. Do you think you would act differently, conduct yourself differently, and have a different self-concept of who you are? Then if you were told you were a piano instructor? Being successful in life, is all about having the proper belief system in who you are. If you truly believing that you are someone unique, that you are someone special. If you truly believe inside of you that you are one of the most successful people in the world, you would be totally different, then if you were like, I hope I’m good. Your expression will be totally different, your tone of voice, you will talk in a more convincing fashion, you will use your natural voice instead of a scripted one. You’ll be more real and more relatable. Our brain is like a circuit, so if we introduce it with proper wiring, you are going to go straight to your target. If you are unsure about who you are, then your dreams and goals will never become a reality. Everyone has mental doubts in life and internal conflicts, even the most successful people that you look up to. But they don’t live there, it is how you handle those thoughts in that exact moment and how you overwhelm them with positive actions and that comes with the up most confidence in yourself, that you are better then the moment.

I do believe in the concept of neuroplasticity.

I'm not really familiar with Neuroregeneration.

But I believe in the concept of neuroplasticity, and believe I have experienced it and benefited from it.

From a brief conversation with a neurologist, 'neuroplasticity' apparently occurs to the detriment of other brain functions.

I wouldn't say someone with autism could 'correct' their brain wiring- especially as it likely a number of processes contribute to the overall presentation- but it is possible to 'learn' certain skills. Many of us also use compensatory methods to get by. For instance, some apply a more complex conscious cognitive method to work out something that is intuitive for NTs

I've heard it explained as my brain rerouting a neural pathway to circumvent a problem area.

I've heard it expressed like Ezra expressed it.

Like neuroflexibility--the ability to compensate when necessary.

I may or may not had unknowingly done this to myself.... I just don't have the visual evidence and the right words for it, but I've known to myself that it's possible.

All I can say is I've been... Trying to 'reach' things. And I have.

If neuroplasticity means that you have infinite capacity to change and grow throughout the lifespan, I believe in it wholeheartedly.

It should mean that LOL

The term, most often, is applied to brain function, from my experience.

Neuroplasticity is the nervous system's capacity to grow and respond to its changing environment. This is a well documented fact, not something you can rationally "believe in" or "not believe in." While the brain and other parts of the nervous system display plasticity, this capacity is not infinite.

Neuroregeneration is the nervous system's ability to mitigate damage by repair, rerouting and regrowth. It's also a well established fact. A striking example was the case of James Brady, whose brain was badly damaged by a bullet during the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan:

I certainly believe in neuroplasticity. But, changes are slow, on the order of months or years.

An example of how long it takes is the transition from high school/college to Major League Baseball--it can take years before a pretty good athlete who got a million dollar signing bonus has trained his neural pathways well enough to hit MLB quality pitches . And some never do, despite years of practice.l
