1. Can neurons in the brain handle 2 separate tasks? I think the answer is yes;

2. If not then how is it decided which parts of brain function are thrown away to neuroplastically recover the dead areas. Hopefully the thrown away parts are like toe control rather than cognitive areas which could lead me to insanity.
There is this myth that only 10% of the brain is used so therefore you just need to activate the other 90%.

Would be great if I could somehow get researchers to answer these questions.
Thank you for this blog. I too received NO useful info after my stroke. Now that I can see a little better I search the internet for help like this. Don't stop- ever.
ReplyDeleteI believe the 10% theory has been debunked, I cannot cite a web page as I do not remember what I was reading at the time (surprise)
ReplyDeleteMy cousin is a psychologist. He said to me "Have you heard of neuroplasticity" like I could turn it on if I so desired. Do we really not have any intelligent medical personelle?
