Another great article from the Dana Foundation. Your doctor should be able to recite everything in it.

A few lines from it.
Importantly, the brain can limit the spread of damage by forming a glial scar that seals off the damaged region.
Brain injury leads to
increased neural plasticity in the spared regions. This allows the
neurons in these regions to take over the sensory or motor functions
that had been performed by the damaged areas.
