🧠 The man who survived an iron bar through his brain.

In 1848, Phineas Gage survived a horrific accident that sent a 13-pound iron rod through his skull. His survival—and reported changes in his behavior—became one of the most famous cases in neuroscience.

His story helped scientists understand that different areas of the brain have different functions, especially when it comes to personality, decision-making, and behavior.

One accident. One incredible survivor. A lasting impact on neuroscience. 🧠

🍂 As the days get shorter and the temperatures drop, let’s remember to take care of our mental health, too! 🧠

Practicing Coping Ahead means preparing for the challenges of the season by prioritizing self-care, embracing rest, and staying connected with others. Sometimes, the smallest gestures make the biggest difference. A little sunlight, a quick walk, or checking in on a friend can go a long way.

Let’s prioritize our peace, give ourselves grace, and look out for one another. We’re in this together!

Your brain matters. Take care of it!

Today is National Cerebral Palsy Day đź’š

At Ask the Brain Nurse, we believe understanding neurological conditions starts with knowing the facts. Cerebral palsy is a lifelong neurological condition that affects movement and posture—and it can look very different from one person to another.

A diagnosis is not a definition of a person.

Take a minute to learn, understand, and share. 🧠💚

When we hear “dementia,” we often think memory loss. But Frontotemporal Degeneration (FTD) can look very different—often affecting personality, behavior, judgment, and language first.

Following NASCAR legend Darrell Waltrip’s recent announcement, we’re sending our support to him and his family as they navigate this difficult diagnosis. ❤️

Your brain matters. Let’s protect it together. 🧠

đź’™ Nothing is unfigureoutable.

When life feels too heavy, you don’t have to figure it all out at once. Just take the next step. Reach out. Talk to someone. Let someone sit with you in the hard moments.

And if someone you love is struggling, remind them: “I’m here. You don’t have to carry this alone.”

You matter. Your story matters. There is a way forward. đź’™

If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988.

Ever walk into a room and completely forget why you went there? 🚪🧠

You might be able to blame the doorway effect—when changing environments briefly makes a thought harder to retrieve.

Does this happen to you too? 🙋‍♀️

Could the weather influence when a brain aneurysm ruptures? 🌡️🧠

Listen to hear Julie explain about brain aneurysms. She talks about how changes in temperature and atmospheric pressure may act as short-term triggers by affecting blood pressure, vasoconstriction, and hemodynamic stress on the vessel wall.

Imagine having a conversation—and minutes later, no memory that it ever happened.

Transient global amnesia (TGA) causes sudden, temporary memory loss and can be frightening to witness. While TGA typically resolves within hours, sudden memory loss should always be evaluated immediately to rule out other neurological conditions.

🧠 Your brain matters. So let’s protect it together.
