True: Brain damage can be life changing, Almost all people who suffer brain damage make some recovery, Increased brain stimulation is when the brain promotes activity in the undamaged hemisphere/area, Over 40's often have less successful recovery after brain damage, Weakness of plasticity = no prior knowledge of level of functioning before trauma, A neuron is a physical connection between different parts of your brain, Motor neurons impact on your limb movements, False: Axon branches often don't grow after surgery, Plasticity is ability to use dead neurons for a new purpose, Denervation supersensitivity is the ability to grow new axons, Axon sprouting starts to occur minutes after damage, Axons are found at the end of a neuron,
