A member asked:
What happens if a brain shunt shifts after surgery, is the memory loss permanent or temporary once the shunt is corrected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The brain can heal: There is hope of regaining your memory.,even if there is memory loss. Tthis because the brain can be repaired, due to Neuroplasticity. The brain can repair or make new neural connections through the mean of cognitive therapy by a Speech and Language Pathologist or through Neurofeedback and eating an anti-inflammatory diet.
