Dallas Bragg discusses whether methamphetamine's cognitive damage is reversible. He says the brain has plasticity and can improve with targeted work like Sudoku, though recovery depends on many variables. Memory problems and word-finding difficulties may get better with brain-training exercises.
meth affects cognition specifically as a, as a, as a kind of a neurobiological domain. And yeah, there's, there's some work potentially further down the line that, that might be coming about that, but I can't speak about that too much just now because it's not fully formed. But yeah, absolutely. We know that meth itself can affect cognition specifically, which can lead to like memory issues, word-finding difficulties, et cetera. And again, is that reversible?
Possibly to an extent. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the brain's plastic, right? I mean, you hear that, we hear that a lot. You know, for me, I did a lot of brain games on my phone. Sudoku. I did, you know, I worked at it to try to get my brain working a little faster.
Yeah. I mean, there's the only challenging thing with things like that is there's so many, there's so many variables that affect it. So you're right. The brain's incredibly plastic.
