Have you ever wondered how your brain learns new skills, recovers from injury, or even adapts to new environments? The answer lies in a remarkable phenomenon called #neuroplasticity.
As a global leader in the use of robotics for neuro-rehabilitation, the Neuro-Rehabilitation Center at Barrow Neurological Institute harnesses the power of neuroplasticity to help patients return to activities with the highest levels of functioning and independence. From the earliest hospital stages to outpatient therapy and home support, specialized devices like robotic #exoskeletons and upper-limb trainers help patients actively stimulate their brain`s healing.
These cutting-edge technologies and comprehensive programs, which are vital for guiding such profound recoveries, exist because of our donors. Click the link in our bio to learn more. ☝️ https://bar.rw/484BaYE

#BrainAwarenessWeek 🧠 – Many headache disorders cause chronic, debilitating pain that impacts nearly every aspect of life. Status migrainosus is a severe migraine attack that can be incapacitating, resistant to traditional treatments, and may last for days.
Headache neurologist at the Lewis Headache Center at Barrow Neurological Institute, Jennifer Robblee, MD, used MRI technology to analyze and compare brain changes during #statusmigrainosus. Her research aims to improve treatment options for patients suffering from this debilitating condition.
Dr. Robblee presented her findings last June at the American Headache Society (AHS) Annual Scientific Meeting. Read more about the Lewis Headache Center`s impact at Barrow: https://bar.rw/478B1Da
