Healing with Neuroplasticity After A Traumatic Experience

Patients with severe brain damage are able to rapidly heal themselves, practically remodelling the brain a few days or weeks after the trauma.

What’s weird is that a brain injury is a great time to take advantage of the rapid reorganization, recovery and other significant changes that a brain can perform on itself. During stroke recovery, learning something new or even re-learning something can result in significant gains.

Principles Of Neuroplasticity

Neuroplasticity has two broad types:

  • Structural neuroplasticity: When the synapses or the strength of connections between neurons changes.
  • Functional neuroplasticity: When learning and development lead to permanent changes in the synapses.

The Reason For Neuroplasticity: Neuron Cells

While neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to form fresh connections and to rewire itself, neurogenesis is the brain’s ability to grow new neurons.

Experiments in the 1960s discovered that traumatic events, stress and anxiety are detrimental to the ...

Chronic Pain and Neuroplasticity

Neurons are by themselves responsible for the experience of pain. The brain can adapt and manage chronic pain by:

  1. Mild electric shocks in the brain to stimulate certain areas.
  2. Magnetic stimulation of the brain.
  3. Fasting intermittently.
  4. Glucose supplements.

Neuroplasticity and Learning

When the brain learns new things, it connects neuron cells and creates new pathways. Learning new facts may not be very useful, but if one learns a new language, skill or a musical instrument, the neuron magic starts to happen and the rewiring begins.
