Question 1

Discuss research into plasticity and functional recovery of the brain after trauma. Refer to the conversation between Leo and Marcus in your answer.

Scenario

Leo was skateboarding without wearing a helmet. His sports coach, Marcus, warned him about the dangers of head injuries. Marcus described a former skater who had suffered a severe head injury after a fall. As a result, this skater now has major difficulties understanding spoken language.

Leo laughed and replied, "I'm only 18. If I had an accident, my brain is young enough that it would just rewire itself to get me completely back to normal."
