What if the brain could be trained to become flexible again?

Aaron McGee, PhD, professor of Translational Neurosciences, and his team at the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix are studying how the brain rewires itself and why that ability fades with age. Their research explores when increasing brain flexibility can help recovery from trauma, injury or vision loss… and when slowing things down might actually protect the brain.

From stroke recovery to PTSD treatment, this approach could reshape how we treat neurological conditions in the years ahead.
