I think the most important note was āThe Primary driver of change in your brain is your behavior, so thereās no neuroplasticity drug that you can take. Nothing is more effective than practice at helping you learn. Bottom line is that you have to do the work. Increased struggle if you will, during practice, actually leads to both more learning and greater structural change in the brainā

I am 70, and had a severe stroke at age 64. Took me 2 years of being in different hospitals, for both treatment, and therapy, to get to living in my own place independently. Any group living is a horror, but my tenacity, and belief in God, led me to resolve to recover my independence. Friends and family will help in the short term, but time quickly comes to discard them, and their negativity. God Bless!

Notes: Long-term learning is from increased struggle of practices. The more you struggle in learning, the more it creates long-term effect. What you do everyday shapes your brain so if to learn something, practice it everyday with so much effort. Also if you want to be better, make sure you do and surround yourself only with what's healthy for your self.

As someone who has suffered from 4 strokes in the past, I can relate to everything Lara Boyd explains when she talks about the difficultly some people have when learning a new skill. I can also relate to the idea that medicine has not reached a point where it is helping stroke patients with what they really require for rehabilitation, and further help with their individual futures. My strokes disabled motor functions on one side of my body, caused a speech impediment and left me half-blind. All this is physical, yet behind all these see-able problems lingers the mental chaos that accompanies stokes, like learning new skills and dealing with the frustration of watching many others solve and master equal skills far easier.
I hope for the sake of future generations, and even those who struggle today, that something simple - like this talk - can motivate those (stroke patient or not) to focus clearer and adjust their strategies for learning new or old skills.
