The Essential Rules Your Brain Follows to Recover
I get asked a version of the same question in almost every stroke assessment. Is it still possible to improve? Usually the person asking has already been told, in one way or another, that it isn’t — or at least that whatever was going to come back has come back. My answer is that the brain follows a fairly well-described set of rules when it reorganises itself, and that those rules don’t include an expiry date. They do, however, include some conditions. Recovery isn’t automatic. It happens when the right kind of practice is delivered in the right way.
