BDNF is a growth factor in the brain that is crucial for creating new neurons, supports the survival of neurons, & promotes connections between neurons.
Physical activity increases the expression of BDNF which creates a supportive environment for healing after #BrainInjury
Mark your calendar! November 28th is Giving Tuesday - together we give. Your gift on #givingtuesday will help us continue to provide support services to individuals living with the effects of a brain injury, and to their caregivers.
