The future of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., is “in her own hands,” Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said Sunday, as Feinstein’s extended absence from the panel due to health issues has some fellow Democrats calling for her to resign.
Durbin, who succeeded Feinstein as chair of the Judiciary Committee, said during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that the longtime lawmaker has undergone “several weeks of travail” over a health issue involving shingles, but still wants to return to serve the committee.
“She said to Chuck Schumer last week that ‘I want to get on a…

Conway said as usual, the minister downplayed the situation and said health care workers don’t have anything to fear when it comes to speaking out.
“If that’s the case, then why did the three nurses speaking to CTV News yesterday feel…
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…
