Mental Health
Neurorehabilitation
If you have suffered a stroke, brain injury or neurodegenerative disorders, 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, damage or neurodegeneration, the function is damaged too.
The function can be retrieved by
repairing the broken neural network,
using non-invasive brain stimulation
and problem based training.
Behavioural control
is the ability to make intentional and rational behavioural choices.
If you have poor behavioural control, you may struggle with:
Gaining control
Behavioural control is a function that depends on neural networks too.
When the network is weak, the ability is poor.
The ability can be improved by re-training the brain
using brain stimulation, mindfulness training, cognitive training and CBT.
