The Conversation: November 14th 2023. Brains … ability to rewire themselves following injury…Quote: Hope for ple who have TBI “Researchers and medical providers have learned that after injury the brain can change and “rewire” itself at a cellular level over the life span – a process called neuroplasticity. Brain cells, called neurons, join to form electrical pathways that power activity within the brain. In addition to other repair processes, neuroplasticity supports damaged brain areas to reconnect injured routes or find “detours” to restore brain function. This means that in recovery, the brain can literally find a new way – or make one – to regain critical abilities.”

Neuroscience News: How memories are structured. Comment: as a person who sustained a TBI with amnesia, this quote gives hope ““To date, when faced with an amnesic problem, we thought of attention deficits or difficulties in acquiring information. Our results suggest that there could also be a failure in these segmentation signals, in how information is structured in the brain”, they note.”
