Movement and brain function are inseparable. Our brains evolved to help us interact with a changing world, and movement remains one of the most powerful ways in which the body influences the brain throughout life. In The Moving Brain series, we explore this remarkable relationship — from muscle strength and walking to aerobic exercise, complex…

Neuroplasticity is all about how your brain forms new connections, how your brain rewires itself. And for any brain, that’s a core function. As pumping is to hearts, so forming new connections…
How do you boost neuroplasticity after a traumatic brain injury? What can you do to ensure that you make the best recovery possible? Neuroplasticity and the Long Haul Recovery from a traumatic brain injury can be a long and difficult journey. It that may take a number of years, even longer than the two year…
