Neuroplasticity never expires

"Neuroplasticity never expires" simply means your brain never loses its ability to learn and rebuild itself, no matter your age or how long ago a stroke happened.

Think of your brain like a road network. A stroke destroys a main highway, blocking communication to your muscles or speech. Neuroplasticity is your brain’s natural ability to pave new side roads and detours around that damaged area.

While building new roads is fastest right after a stroke, your brain’s road crew never retires. With regular practice and repeated effort, you can keep building new pathways for the rest of your life.
