Neuroplasticity

 Strategies to Promote Brain Recovery and Health

March 5, 2024 @ 7pm 

In Person Meeting

Longo’s Walkers Line 2900 Walkers Line, Burlington

About the Talk:

Did you know there are lifestyle changes you can make to promote brain recovery and brain resilience? Learn about what we can do to influence neuroplasticity (adaptive structural and functional changes to the brain) after brain injury. This talk will cover:
– Intro to neuroplasticity
– Lifestyle factors and daily practices that can positively influence neuroplasticity (i.e., promote brain recovery and resilience)
