Yes, I agree, but doesn't this imply that the damaged neurons are lost already, and the brain is just attempting to compensate by using the remaining healthy areas?
This is my biggest fear, and I hope someone can show evidence to the contrary. I am hoping for evidence of neurogenesis after MTBI, not neuroplasticity.
