💙 Neuroplasticity is the brain's lifelong ability to reorganize, form new neural connections, and adapt its structure and function in response to experiences, learning, injury, or environmental changes, essentially "rewiring" itself.

This process allows for learning new skills, recovering from brain damage (like stroke), forming memories, and even overcoming dysfunctional patterns, but can also lead to maladaptive changes in conditions like chronic pain or addiction.

COVID-19 does not just affect the respiratory system, but also significantly alters the brain in people who have fully recovered from the infectious disease, highlighting the long-term neurological impact of the virus.

Researchers from Griffith University’s National Centre for Neuroimmunology and Emerging Disease (NCNED) used advanced MRI techniques to ascertain the neurological implications of COVID-19 compared with those who had never been infected.

Evolution of the Polyvagal Theory: This article by Stephen W. Porges discusses the evolution and significance of Polyvagal Theory, a model that has transformed the understanding of the autonomic nervous system's role in mental and physical health.

Initially rooted in psychophysiology, Polyvagal Theory has become a framework for a new brain-body science that emphasizes the connection between autonomic regulation, emotional states, and social behavior.
