Neuroplasticity: How the Brain Rewires Itself After Injury
The human brain is remarkably adaptable. When injury occurs—whether from trauma, stroke, or surgery—the brain has the ability to reorganize itself and form new connections. This process, known as neuroplasticity, allows individuals to regain lost functions, learn new skills, and recover abilities that were once thought permanently damaged. Understanding how neuroplasticity works reveals the incredible potential of the brain to heal and adapt.
What Neuroplasticity Means
Neuroplasticity refers to the brain’s ability to change its structure and function in response to experience, learning, or injury. Unlike the old belief that brain cells could not regenerate, research now shows that the…

The year 2023 marks the tenth year of operations for the US health insurance exchanges since they launched as part of the Affordable Care Act in 2014. The individual market has remained fluid during this time, with insurer participation, pricing, and plans changing from year to year.

What is Medicare Secondary Payer and when does it apply?
Editor’s note: This column, a repeat from last year, is a follow-up to the previous Health Care Buzz column.
Several adults are either on Traditional Medicare/TM already or are looking to move to Medicare as they turn 65 and have many questions about: Will Traditional Medicare always be the primary insurance after 65?

Launch events unveiling the referendum were held across several cities Tuesday, including a rally outside St. Joseph’s Health Care in London, Ont.
Peter Bergmanis, co-chair of the local OHC, said that hundreds of polling stations will be set up across the Forest City in the coming weeks.
