Neuroscience is an ever evolving field that grows each day. It has branched into many different fields of study but a novel area of research is neurological technology (Neurotechnology). Neurotechnology has enabled for victims of various neurological disorders to manage their symptoms and lead normal lifestyles. But how can one improve neurotechnology? Like any device there is always a better model, a more efficient one. The body doesn’t need help healing itself but neurotechnology can help. Another question one could ask is how does the body’s ability to heal itself help neurotechnology?Given the dynamic nature of neurotechnology, anything that can support it will work to boost the technology's advantages. Therefore, integrating the old and modern can only lead to great results, and the little drawbacks and side effects may be overlooked due to the collaboration's immense value. In conclusion, neuroplasticity is a factor that may have an impact on how effective neurotechnologies are. It should be taken into account while creating new kinds of instruments, and treatment strategies should take the variability this association brings into account.
