Neurorehabilitation
If you have suffered a stroke or brain injury, you may have lost the ability to:
Regaining function
Functions depend on dedicated neural
networks in the brain.
When a network is broken by stroke or
damage, the function is damaged too
The function can be retrieved by
repairing the broken neural network
Behavioural control
is the ability to make intentional, planned, and rational behavioural choices.
If you have poor behavioural control, you may struggle with:
Gaining control
Behaviour is also stored in neural networks in the brain.
Repeating a behaviour reinforces the neural network relating to the behaviour.
When rehearsed enough, the behaviour becomes ‘hardwired’ in the brain and difficult to control.
The behaviour can be corrected by conscious effort
to control it.
As you get better at controlling it, the neural network rewires
itself to accommodate the change.
