So you could say you're commonly demotivated as a function of the injury, and so it's a special struggle for such an individual. So, in fact, many neurologists Today will tell you that plasticity is powerful in a baby and not powerful in an adult, and they still misunderstand its powers.
Imagine facing the aftermath of a stroke and discovering that your brain has the power to heal itself. In this episode of 'Recovery After Stroke', host Bill Gasiamis chats with Dr. Michael Merzenich, a leading neuroscientist renowned for his groundbreaking work on neuroplasticity. Dr. Merzenich delves into the incredible ability of the brain to rewire itself, offering hope and practical advice for stroke survivors.
He explains how imaging and meditation can significantly enhance brain function and recovery, and discusses the often-overlooked impact of general anaesthetic on the brain, along with ways to mitigate its effects through targeted training. The conversation also touches on the fascinating connection between gut health and brain function, emphasizing the importance of staying active and continuously learning as you age. Dr. Merzenich wraps up with seven essential questions every stroke survivor should consider during their recovery journey.
Whether you're navigating life post-stroke or supporting someone who is, this episode is packed with valuable insights that can help you take control of the healing process.
