This chapter critically examines the clinical, neuroimaging, and neurophysiological evidence for plasticity-driven recovery. Drawing on longitudinal studies and case-based analyses, we illuminate how recovery can occur even in late stages, challenging the traditional notion of static chronic phases. The chapter highlights the role of task-specific practice, intensity, and timing in shaping neural reorganization, emphasizing that plasticity is not merely a spontaneous biological process but one that can be modulated through structured intervention. We further explore how electroencephalography (EEG)-based markers offer temporally precise insights into reorganization across cognitive, sensory, and affective domains. Neuroimaging findings reveal compensatory activation, network shifts, and bilateral engagement as hallmarks of adaptive plasticity. Affect, motivation, and goal-directed behavior are positioned as central to driving experience-dependent changes, especially when integrated into patient-centered therapy. In addition, we examine the intersection of individual difference factorsincluding personality and cognitive reservewith neuroplastic potential and propose frameworks for personalized rehabilitation. Finally, the chapter outlines emerging directions in tech-enabled plasticity interventions and translational models of care. Together, the evidence underscores neuroplasticity not only as a recovery mechanism but also as a target for strategic, evidence-based rehabilitation. The interdisciplinary approach adopted here aims to bridge neuroscience, clinical practice, and lived patient experiences to inform future research and therapeutic innovation. 2026 selection and editorial matter, K.
