Neuroplasticity for psychiatric recovery

Many psychiatric disorders involve maladaptive neural circuit configurations, and promoting targeted neuroplasticity is a promising therapeutic strategy. Brain stimulation techniques (TMS, tDCS), pharmacological plasticity enhancers (BDNF modulators, psychedelics), and behavioral interventions can induce synaptic remodeling. However, controlling the direction and specificity of plasticity changes remains a fundamental challenge. Opening a plasticity window without guiding the rewiring process risks reinforcing pathological circuits rather than therapeutic ones.
