Your brain is the control room for emotions — with neurotransmitters like serotonin (happiness), dopamine (reward), and hormones like cortisol (stress) pulling the strings. 🧠🎛️ Feeling moody? Blame your brain’s internal chemistry lab!
Adolescence = your brain "pruning" away unused connections to become more efficient... which also means mood swings, risky decisions, and testing boundaries. Like deciding it’s a great idea to jump off a roof into a pool. 😅🧠 neuropsychologist.co.za #BrainScience
Did you know? Almost every bulge in the brain has a particular function. This part in red controls movement of the right hand and face. Have a stroke in that area? Your right hand won’t work as well as it used to and the right side of your face might droop. #Stroke

Long COVID can cloud the mind, making memory, focus, and thinking feel harder.🧠📷 It's not "in your head"—it's real, brain-based, and deeply challenging. Healing takes time, care, and understanding. neuropsychologist.co.za #LongCovid #BrainHealth #Neuropsychology

In Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), the brain struggles to send and receive signals properly—affecting movement, sensation, and even thinking.🧠 It’s real, complex, and deserves care, not judgment. neuropsychologist.co.za @FNDSociety #BrainHealth
