This book describes a fascinating aspect of the brain and the
spinal cord, namely that the brain is malleable which means that
the way it works can be changed. Something changes in the brain
whenever we learn something, but changes also happens when training
to reach new skills. Rehabilitation after strokes and trauma is
successful because it brings on changes in the way the brain
functions. It is the brain's ability to change its functions that
makes it possible to use prostheses of different kinds such as
cochlea implants that can make deaf people hear. The young brain is
more malleable than it is later in life. It also discusses these
two very different roles of neural plasticity, one that is
beneficial and one that causes harm and diseases; it discusses the
sparse knowledge about the role of neural plasticity in other
disorders and it speculate that neural plasticity may be involved
in addictions of various kinds and in diseases such as depression.
