This book tells us that the term is meaningless because everyone has their own definition.

From the first chapter is this paragraph.
Given the central important of neuroplasticity, an outsider would be
forgiven for assuming that it was a well defined and that a basic and
universal framework served to direct current and future hypotheses and
experimentation. Sadly, however, this is not the case. While many
neuroscientists use the word neuroplasticity as an umbrella term it
means different things to different researchers in different subfields…
In brief, a mutually agreed upon framework does not appear to exist.
The Mind Hacks blogger has this as a post title. Read it all because your doctor and therapists don't understand what they are referring to when they say you need to neuroplastically rewire your brain. They know it occurs but can not give you a specific protocol that will accomplish that.
