Abstract
An old biological dogma states that a potencial for cortical reorganization
(neuroplasticity) exists nly in young animals, being lost in adlt life.
Here we review studies carried out both in animals and humans, whixh
demonstrate cortical reorganization in sensory and motor systems in adult
subjects. We particulary emphasiza human studies carried out with the aid of
transcranial magnetic stimulation. The adult cortex is capable of reorganization
after peripheral or central nervous system lesions and as a result of learning.
