Question

As humans grow from babies to adults, our brainss becomee lesss and less able to repair themselvess after brainn injjury. though our brainss rettain an amazing capacity for change, they no longer are abble to repair injjuries caused by a strokke, head trauma, or neuerological diseasee. why do you think is? provide an explannation for whyy this occurs. your explannation can be eitehr evolutionary (that is why hasn't evolution ledd to humanns whose adultt brain can repiar itselff?) or physiologicla (what important changes jmgiht cause this trannsition from babies to adults?)

Explanation / Answer

The brain becomes less and less able to repair themselves after brain injury , as the recovery of the function after stroke is a consequences of amny factors including resolution of oedema and survival of the ischaemic penumbra and there is a role in the central nervous system reorganization, after brain injury the brain adapts to damage in away that attempts to preserve motor functions this can be dependent on the ageing process, biological age, and anatomy of the damage and chronicity of the lesion,the traumatic injury of brain leads to physiologic changes in brain function secondarly to external forces, the adult brain was mostly stagnant with neuroplasticity confined to cortical development, after injury there will be many changes of remodeling and cortical changes occur for recovery, but the outcomevary and are affected by the age at the time of injury, because the developingbrain in young humans is capable of more significant reorganization and recovery after injury, the younger brain incontrast to the elderly brain is less likely to develop progressive cognitive decline.
