Brain Can Reorganize Post-Sz

Found this on neuroscience news. It seems brain plasticity is great for sz, in that the brain can still remain plastic (malleable) and can reorganize itself for the better. Thoughts?

A team of scientists from across the globe have shown that the brains of patients with schizophrenia have the capacity to reorganize and fight the illness. This is the first time that imaging data has been used to show that our brains may have the ability to reverse the effects of schizophrenia.

“Our results highlight that despite the severity of tissue damage, the brain of a patient with schizophrenia is constantly attempting to reorganize itself, possibly to rescue itself or limit the damage,” says Dr. Palaniyappan.
