(Hljod.Huskona, 2008, February 26). Neural plasticity is one of the most important discoveries in the realm of the brain because it allows for more surgery to be done as well as allows for a more comprehensive understanding of how the functions of the brain are specified. The implications of this notion affected the study of learning and adaption.
Thru plasticity, the brain forms new synaptic connections to reroute information around the damaged areas. What this means is if a certain set of cells are there to do one action, and those cells are damaged, other sets of cells may have to take over that action which is part of will brain heal itself.
