The brain does have an amazing ability to adapt to recover from damage and yes can even produce new neurons. As far as specifics concerning your condition,..that is a question for your doctor, but here is some general brain health information you may find useful: A preview of our upcoming knowledge center: http://www.lumosity.com/blog/brain-foods/ And how physical exercise may be able to increase production of brain blood flow and the production of neurons: http://www.lumosity.com/blog/physical-exercise-and-brain-blood-flow/ http://www.lumosity.com/blog/brain-building-with-exercise/ Hope that helps.

I had a cyst between my brain hemispheres which was clogging the drain in my brain. I have been told that this area is related to memory. When I first started Lumosity I was in the bottom 2% for memory for my age group and I am now up to 17%. I am interested in any information on restoring your brain to health after surgery. Are you able to create new neurons? Are there certain foods I should be eating? Thank you for your time. I appreciate it very much.

One of the ways we may cope with traumatic events is to repress memories of or around the event, especially one that are quite painful and traumatic. Often psychotherapy can be very instrumental in helping people who have experienced significant trauma, both where memories for the event are remembered and/or repressed. I recommend you look at the website of the American Psychological Association, where they have further information on the psychological impact of trauma and how to best cope with it (www.apa.org/topics/topictrauma.html).

It may sound strange but it happened in one of the neighbourhoods in Toronto. I would be very curious about if it will come to surface later or it is deeply buried. I hope that your article will appear soon I can`t wait it.
