Neuroplasticity is the word used to describe the brain changing its connections. The connections in your brain allow you to think, move, talk, etc. When you lose the ability to move an arm, neuroplasticty could regain that ability by forming new connections to bypass the broken ones & make that arm work again.

Super cool tho, doctors put AI chips in a paralyzed person’s brain and he regained some movement. The AI chips are like the “bypass” mentioned above. Here’s a link: https://www.cbsnews.com/video/ai-helps-paralyzed-man-regain-some-feeling-and-movement-in-his-arms/
