The human brain is one of the most complex and amazing organs in our body. It has the ability to heal and adapt even after serious injuries. Understanding how brain activity changes after an injury opens up new opportunities for treating and rehabilitating patients.

After an injury, the brain goes through several phases of activity changes:

Acute period (first hours and days after the injury):

Increased activity: in the first hours after the injury, increased activity is observed in the area of ​​damage. This is a response to stress and an attempt by the brain to mobilize resources for recovery.

Hyperactivation: some areas of the brain may show hyperactivity, trying to compensate for lost functions.

Understanding patterns of brain activity after injury has profound implications for developing effective treatments and rehabilitation. For example, knowing which areas of the brain are activated in response to injury helps to design targeted therapeutic programs, including cognitive therapy, physical rehabilitation, and medication.
