Very odd, I even did a double take on checking up when I had had the stroke. As far as neuro-plasticity affects post-stroke progress, I don’t really know too much, I have a dilettantish knowledge on the matter. That far back, I was fumbling around for answers or at least some sort of reasoning behind the way my brain was adapting to its current circumstances, it was all a bit like trying to examine under the hood of a smoking engine. However it works, I have accepted neuro-plasticity as verity, acknowledging some of the negative facets to do with non-use, counterproductive habits &c, but on the whole thinking of the process as a supportive part of my own rehabilitation, psychologically speaking. I don’t think I have enough technical reasoning to break down the entire process even as a schematic. I was never particularly good at biology or science, having one of those day-dreamy, creative type brains that drifts too easily on the wind of whim. 
I am the complete opposite of my father who is a scientific technician who worked in the Antarctic on scientific expeditions, and would build computers from scratch, whereby I would then play games on them I think it is useful to have a deeper understanding of how the brain works, especially from a stroke survivor’s perspective, this can only benefit a more engaged relationship with our damaged grey matter.
