what does the brain need to heal itself
BRAIN & SPINE HEALTH. When a stroke deprives the brain of blood, the nerve cells in the brain are either damaged or die, causing the physical and mental changes typical of stroke. Now, research is telling us that the brain is a fighter and does try to heal itself. What is a stroke? Stroke occurs when blood vessels feeding the brain are either blocked or leak (hemorrhage), depriving the brain of blood and starving it of the oxygen that brain cells need to survive.
