The Cross-Linking Theory
Cross-linking theory suggests that brain damage can be prevented or repaired by increasing connections between neurons. By increasing the synapses – or links between nerve cells – the brain can strengthen the existing neural passages and even create new ones to adapt and heal. Scientists test this idea on animals, and medicines that help brain cells connect better seem useful for healing the brain and may stop some diseases. In humans, remedies such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) are being tested to awaken the identical nerve repair. Although still largely theoretical, this concept of increasing brain connectivity can lead to new remedies for stroke, neurodegeneration and other neurological conditions.
