According to Barbara of BrainLine.org: "Brain injury is a puzzle...all the pieces are there but in the wrong order", so recovery from a brain injury can be seen as the process of reorganizing and rebuilding the brain and neural networks in order to regain functioning. This essay will discuss the processes involved in brain recovery by discussing what neural networks are and how neural trigger action potentials, as well as the importance of neuroplasticity in brain recovery. Other aspects that will be discussed include the importance of learning experience and therapy in the recovery or remission of a brain injury patient. The brain is the most complex and important organ in the human body as it controls the functioning of all other bodily organs and processes. , so brain damage is detrimental to your overall health and ability to function. According to Coon & Mitters (2012; Pg. 58), the brain is made up of billions of neurons (individual nerve cells) that carry inputs from sensors to the brain where they are processed. Neurons also carry output from the brain to instruct muscles and glands to respond to the input that the brain has processed. However, a single neuron cannot transmit or process the necessary information and therefore neurons must connect to each other to create a functioning brain. A neuron consists of a cell body (also called a soma) that contains a nucleus and neuronal fibers that extend outward, which receive information, called dendrites, and an axon which is a fiber that carries information away from the cell body of the cell. a neuron. At the end of the axon are bulb-like structures called axon terminals that form synapses with the dendrites and somata of other neurons. This, the… focus of the document… d on their recovery as this will allow them to assist in their own recovery as their brain will be more receptive to changes in the experience. Because as Maya Angela once said, “I may be changed by what happens to me, but I refuse to be reduced by it.” Positivity, family support, and regular therapy allow neuroplasticity to occur efficiently and effectively as the brain is constantly stimulated by new experiences. and receptive to change. Therefore, neuroplasticity is more likely to occur and allow one to recover from a brain injury or trauma as effectively as possible, taking into account the severity and type of injury or trauma. Therefore, in conclusion, it has been clearly illustrated in the essay that in the brain recovery after injury or trauma, neuroplasticity plays an important role and brain injury therapy mainly focuses on encouraging neuroplasticity.
