A study published in the journal Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews by PhD student Daniel Aslan shows that people with neurodegenerative diseases utilize neuroplasticity in an attempt to learn new motor skills by altering brain activity. This altered brain activity is unique for each neurodegenerative disease, but also depends on the progression of the disease and the type of task being learned.
