CONT

La réserve cognitive se développe à travers les stimulations cognitives. La réserve cognitive permettrait de s'adapter à la présence de zones rendues dysfonctionnelles par la maladie en mobilisant et en adaptant des zones cérébrales saines pour qu'elles puissent réaliser les fonctions cognitives qui sont menacées.

CONT

La réserve cognitive […] repose sur l'hypothèse que le cerveau peut faire face aux lésions cérébrales. Soit en utilisant ses réseaux neuronaux préexistants, soit en activant de nouvelles connexions neuronales.
