Actually, this article and research has nothing to do with brain healing. It focuses on how the brain reacts when a part of the brain becomes dysfunctional. The brains studied are healthy with areas artificially made dysfunctional without causing any damage.
An injured brain will likely react differently as cells die and blood flow is interrupted and the area flooded with the toxins from damage. Then there is the risk of swelling and the damage it can do to uninjured areas. This reallocation of areas and functions has been know for ages. This research has finally been able to image this happening. This is a big part of the recovery from a stroke or penetrating injury. Many of us with PCS have brains that cannot use this function because we suffer from a diffuse axonal injury that has a broader area (diffuse) of axonal injury. There are no healthy areas for the brain to turn to when it tries to overcome the injury. The research is helpful as it further promotes the use of fMRI's for imaging brain injuries. If is difficult to get approval for an fMRI because many insurance companies consider it to be a research tool, only.
