NO PLAGIARISM DUE THURSDAY AUGUST 16, 2018 DISCUSSION 2

 After reading Chapter 13 of your course text and viewing The Road to Recovery Following Brain Injury (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. and What is a Stem Cell? (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.,  which cover brain injury and repair, analyze the clinical, biological,  and psychological factors that are important in successful brain  function recovery outcomes. How can the brain repair itself or restore  lost function after TBI or other brain damage (focus on the concept of  neuroplasticity)?  Wilson (2012) lists ways that the brain can repair  itself, but reminds us later in the chapter that, in most areas of the  brain, replication of neurons by mitosis to replace lost/dead neurons  only occurs in immature brains (i.e., essentially those younger than age  two). There are some areas (e.g., the hippocampus, which is responsible  for memory) that have neurogenesis, but other areas of the brain must  utilize neuroplasticity to restore lost function.
