Neuroplasticity and Communication credit:

3 Hours

The human brain adapts and changes continually throughout the human lifespan. This phenomenon is known as neuroplasticity. In this course, we will come to a better understanding of the principles of neuroplasticity, including during development, critical periods, learning and skill mastery, and reorganization/rehabilitation of functional abilities following brain damage. We will draw heavily on current research pertaining to neuroplasticity involving brain structures and functions important for communication.
