I don't recall seeing anyone post a link to this site before. It has lots of helpful information:

A study published in the Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation analyzed results from almost 400 high school and college football players during the 2008-2009 playing season in Milwaukee, WI. A total of 28 players sustained concussions during the playing season. and were monitored using Quantitative EEG (qEEG) recording, balanced & body control systems, and cognitive testing.

The qEEG results showed that abnormal readings in the concussed players continued long after more traditional tests (balance testing and cognitive testing) for concussions came back "clean," These results point to more evidence that there is a "recovery window" in the brain as it heals from a concussion that might be significantly longer than most athletic trainers and physicians have traditionally assumed.

Here is a link to the abstract: http://journals.lww.com/headtraumare...Related.6.aspx

Here is an article that discusses life styles choices that enhance or encourage neuroplasticity and some choices that inhibit neuroplasticity.

I found it very interesting.

Basically:

Increasing Activities:
Physical activity
Education
Social interactions
Intellectual pursuits
Cognitive remediation

Decreasing Activities:
Poor health
Poor sleep hygiene
Poor nutrition
Substance abuse
Depression and anxiety

Of course, take it with a grain of salt since it is written about the general population and not in regards to people recovering from brain injuries. (Don't overdo engaging in activities that are believed to increase neuroplasticity as they may cause set backs.)

But I see several things here that members of this forum usually engage in, when possible, to help their brains to heal or at least function as well as possible: good nutrition, good sleep hygiene, avoid substance abuse, reduce anxiety and depression, etc..

Here's a link to a great article that explains the fatigue brain injury survivors experience:

Scroll down (a few paragraphs) past "My Story" to find it.

You can find .pdf files at the bottom so you can print this article out in an easy to read format too!
