My
subject today Bloggets is, neuroplasticity
The
brain can rewire itself throughout life. Forming neural connections. The nerve cells
learn to compensate for injury and disease and to adjust their activities in
response to new situations we grow new nerve endings to reconnect neurons that
were injured. I have read that if one part of our brain is attacked, the good
part takes over. Or can. To make this work though, our brain needs to be
stimulated. Wow, I love this subject. I think of my eye disease. The nerves
rods and cones are damaged, so why can’t my brain tell my eyes to work using
good cells? Why can’t I grow new bits and bobs in my eyes?
The
subject came across as I was talking with a very intelligent man as I wrote
about a part of our brain that hasn’t been activated as yet. I asked him if he
thought that part of the brain went into the next world. Our half of the brain
that was once thought to be the active section, whilst the other side remained
dormant. The active section was wiped out as the new part of our brain kicked
into action. Well, that was my theory blown out of the hemisphere
Apparently, that’s old news as new scientists have
discovered that cells regrow and even compensate. So, for all of us who say we
are too old to learn to play the piano or a new language, not according to
scientists. And for all of those thinking we are still just here because of the
big bang? Well, how can we be so clever and how can our body just do what it
does? Just like a car is wired to work, as are we. Just as a car can’t evolve
on its own, neither can we. I just wish my maker would send me sight. In fact,
all those who are blind and want to see and for those who are right now
terrified of facing blindness as it’s coming at them like a fast car about to
crash into their lives. Why do we have to feel pain and suffering in this world
and again, if we are just here because of whatever other than we were created,
then why do we have feelings? Feel emotions? I think we are heading towards a
society full of machines. Our kid’s kids, will be so different. Sadly, in a
way, but I guess good for them because they won’t feel grief like we do. And another
thought, whilst I’m thinking. Smile. Chemicals. Why can’t the army and
Government produce a chemical that can be released into the air to make
everyone calm and happy? Nice kind people. Why do all the chemicals have to be
harmful and propose a threat to our beautiful world. Surely if you can make bad
chemicals, good ones can be invented too?
