As the children gained perceptual, cognitive, and motor experiences, stimulated intact areas of the cerebral cortex compensated for the early damage.

The cerebral cortex of children with brain damage was stimulated by using therapies that relied on cognitive and motor experiences. So therapy is a huge part of recovery now.
