How To Rewire Your Brain After Stroke | Michael Merzenich EP 108 (2020)

Often referred to as the father of Neuroplasticity, in his early career Dr Michael Merzenich was part of the team that developed the early practical prosthetic device models that later became commercially known as the cochlear implant that helps deaf people hear. Check out the full post here: recoveryafterstroke.com/rewir...
In the early 1990’s Dr Merzenich set out to find applications of his team's research findings that the brain was in fact able to change and devised a program to help neurologically struggling children and adults.
Dr Merzenich is the founder of Brain HQ the brain training application helping people enhance their brain function and his most recent book is called Soft Wired - How the Science of Brain Plasticity Can Change Your Life.
In the interview, I will ask Dr Merzenich about how Neuroplasticity can be used to support people who are recovering from brain injury specifically after a stroke.

Husband admitted hospital 10th November 2023, SAH front temple lobe. I’m devastated to add he has now been deemed Adult without capacity, and rehab hospital has just recently got detainment ship.
Is there hope? Especially for our 15 year old son?
Loved this podcast have saved and will share. Learning all I can x

It is hard to know how much recovery is possible as it depends on how much damage was done to the brain during the stroke. What are his deficits at the moment? Where are you located?

[@BillGasiamis]

Dr Merzenich is not monitoring this post. What you are experiencing can be lots of different things the best thing to do is contact your medical team directly and ask that question.
