When people talk about hyperbaric oxygen therapy “waking up sleeping brain cells,” they’re usually referring to 'idling neurons'. These are brain cells that aren’t dead, but are stuck in a low-energy, low-functioning state due to lack of oxygen - common after things like stroke, traumatic brain injury, or even long-term inflammation.
Here’s what happens with HBOT:
- Extra oxygen dissolves in the blood plasma (not just the red blood cells).
- This oxygen-rich plasma reaches areas of the brain with poor circulation.
- With enough oxygen, those “sleeping” neurons can start firing again, restoring some function.
Clinical studies have shown improvements in cognition, memory, mood, and motor skills when patients with brain injuries go through HBOT. It’s not magic - it’s oxygen giving the brain the energy it needs to switch cells back on.
