Document Summary
Restoring function by treating the underlying deficits! Failure to drive specific brain functions can lead to functional degradation: use it and improve it. Training that drives a specific brain function can lead to an enhancement of that function: specificity. The nature of the training experience dictates the nature of the plasticity: repetition matters. Induction of plasticity requires sufficient repetition: intensity matters. Induction of plasticity requires sufficient training intensity: time matters. Different forms of plasticity occur at different times during training: salience matters. The training experience must be sufficiently salient to induce plasticity: age matters. Training-induced plasticity occurs more readily in younger brains: transference. Plasticity in response to one training experience can enhance the acquisition of similar behaviors: interference. Plasticity in response to one experience can interfere with the acquisition of other behaviors. Proven to be effective in patients with parkinson"s disease. Objective: improve hyolaryngeal displacement in order to improve opening of ues.
