In constraint induced movement therapy, a person's good arm is immobilized, which forces the impaired arm to become more active and to increase which of the following processes in the damaged part of his brain?
A) ablation
B) neurogenesis
C) lateralization
D) localization of function

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Constraint induced movement therapy involves immobilizing the good arm so that the impaired arm becomes more active. This increased activity can lead to neurogenesis, or the growth of new neurons, in the damaged part of the brain. The therapy does not involve ablation (the removal of brain tissue), lateralization (the specialization of different brain regions), or localization of function (identifying specific brain regions responsible for specific functions).
