Neuroplasticity Details
This term refers to the ability of the brain and other parts of the nervous system to change in response to experience
What is neuroplasticity?
Seizures are triggered by bursts of electrical activity from clusters of these
What are neurons?
About 1 in this many people globally will have a stroke in their lifetime
What is 4?
A traumatic brain injury occurs when this causes damage to the brain
What is an external force?
CTE is a rare disease that is not yet this
What is well understood?
Experience-dependent plasticity does not only occur from everyday experience; it also occurs in response to this
What is brain injury?
Most seizures are over in less than 2 minutes and stop without this
What is intervention?
Every this many minutes, one Australian experiences a stroke for the first time
What is 19?
A traumatic brain injury can result from a single traumatic event or from this over time
What are repeated blows?
There is currently no medical or psychological test to diagnose CTE in this type of person
Who is a living person?

What is a medical emergency?
When the head is struck hard, the brain slams against the inside of this
What is the skull?
Generally CTE symptoms are initially mild but do this over time
What is become more severe (progress)?
At the neuronal level, connections and networks disrupted by injury may change by doing this
What is forming new connections?
This treatment usually controls seizures in the majority of people with epilepsy
What is medication?
These two things about where a stroke occurred will suggest its potential effects
What are the brain hemisphere and lobe?
The effects of a traumatic brain injury can be mild, moderate or severe depending on this
What is the extent of the damage to the brain?
Not all athletes with repeated concussions develop CTE, and it has been diagnosed in people with no history of this
What are head or brain injuries?
Different brain structures and sensory systems require specific types of this at certain times in order to develop
What is environmental input?
The disruption in normal neuronal activity caused by many neurons firing a signal at the same time, much faster than normal
What is a seizure?
Recovery and improvement after a stroke are dependent on this
What are stroke rehabilitation therapy and activities?
The type and severity of aphasia depends on these two things about the brain damage
What are its location and extent?
There is still debate about how common CTE is, its symptoms and this
What are its diagnostic criteria?
