So if there are minor wear and tears, the healing mechanisms in our brain fix those things.

So if you drink two glasses of wine, I'm not promoting wine.

I mean, I think ideally you should never smoke.

You should never drink.

You should never do drugs.

You should never be stressed.

You should sleep perfectly all the time.

But the thing is, if occasional things happen, our brain have a healing mechanism.

Now, I don't want to go on and on and on, but as a neurologist, I see people with large strokes who recover.

I mean, sometimes kids have a problem and we have to eliminate and actually aspirate half the brain and they still do well.

This is what I call the invincible brain.

Our brain has a huge capacity for growth and recovery.

Good Lord.

That's incredible.

Incredible.

Incredible.

I mean, I look at the MRIs, half the brain's not there and the kid is playing.

It's like, how could this possible?

Like if you don't have the right part of the brain, the left side shouldn't work technically.

But, you know, the kid is running around and playing and, you know, seem to be fine.
