You typically take the same route everytime but one day the road was blocked so you have to find a different road or route to take. Neuroplasticity is your brain or neurons creating new pathways or routes to do something (in a different way than before a brain injury). 01:38:18 Tony Falsone: Reacted to "One way to think of ..." with 👍 01:38:31 Mike: Reacted to "One way to think of ..." with 👍 01:38:38 Lorrie "Tigerlily" Herrmann: Reacted to "One way to think of ..." with 👍 01:39:33 Zerra: Berries 01:40:47 Lorrie "Tigerlily" Herrmann: Check out DASH or Mediterranean Diet for a nutritional meal plan that helps feed the brain.
