The prefrontal cortex operates slowly and is logical and precise, while the limbic system works fast and is dominated by emotion and impulse. In many ways these two brain regions are complementary opposites, often in conflict but extremely effective when coordinated well.

Optimal cerebral blood flow (CBF) is important for healthy brain function. Considering CBF is reduced after brain injury, techniques to improve CBF can significantly improve neurological recovery. Research has shown that electrical stimulation to cranial nerve V can enhance CBF🧠

Sense of smell is a profound sensory stimulation for the brain due to the olfactory nerves being the only cranial nerves that bypass the thalamus and having direct projections to the brain, including areas such as the frontal cortex and amygdala

I picked up this great piece of information from a wonderful podcast between @richroll and @hubermanlab 🧠 I highly recommend listening to the entire chat: youtu.be/SwQhKFMxmDY Link also in bio instagram.com/p/Cc3LI8sLXNt/…

TBI-induced behavioral deficits, such as learning and memory, neurological impairments, seizures and anxiety respond to manipulations of the endocannabinoid (eCB) system. The eCB system possesses potential receptor and enzyme targets for the treatment of diverse TBI pathology.
