Abstract: Neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to show persistent structural and/or functional modifications in response to external changes. Understanding this process is crucial for developing neurotherapeutic strategies for brain injury recovery. Neuroplasticity may be adaptive or maladaptive and is tightly linked with brain development and skill learning. Positron emission tomography (PET) is a molecular imaging technique that enables the analysis of neurochemical processes, including neurotransmitter function. Synaptic plasticity is fundament...
