Shallert and colleagues showed that if we have damage to our brain in the sensory motor pathways, any number of different sensory motor pathways, or we have damage to a limb, could be a leg, could be an arm, could be a hand, there's great benefit to restricting the use of the opposite, better performing uninjured limb or hand or other part of the body.

Research shows that when one side of the body is injured, overworking the injured limb and restricting the healthy limb can speed up the recovery process by supporting activity and minimizing asymmetry in the central and nerve to muscle pathways on the injured side.

This episode talks about the importance of the lymphatic system, specifically the glymphatic system, in repairing brain damage caused by traumatic brain injury (TBI) and how it relates to general brain function and aging.

Summary
This episode talks about the importance of the lymphatic system, specifically the glymphatic system, in repairing brain damage caused by traumatic brain injury (TBI) and how it relates to general brain function and aging. The Kennard principle, which states that it's better to get a brain injury early in life than later in life, is also discussed, as well as different types of TBI.
