This week we have focused on raising brain awareness 🧠

For us at 3RT its very close to home; 2 of 5 members of our family have had brain insults from injury and stroke.

What I have watched over their journey of recovery amazes me, how neuroplasticity has allowed the brain to reorganise its structure, functions, & neural connections; in other words rewiring!

It enables the brain to form new pathways, strengthen used ones, & prune unused ones. This process allows for adaptation to new situations, recovery from damage, and cognitive growth - it can continue for years!!

Look after your brain, its the only one we have!!
