What is neuroplasticity? Is it possible to change your brain?
Norman Doidge's inspiring guide to the new brain science explains
all of this and more An astonishing new science called
neuroplasticity is overthrowing the centuries-old notion that the
human brain is immutable, and proving that it is, in fact, possible
to change your brain. Psychoanalyst, Norman Doidge, M.D., traveled
the country to meet both the brilliant scientists championing
neuroplasticity, its healing powers, and the people whose lives
they've transformed--people whose mental limitations, brain damage
or brain trauma were seen as unalterable. We see a woman born with
half a brain that rewired itself to work as a whole, blind people
who learn to see, learning disorders cured, IQs raised, aging
brains rejuvenated, stroke patients learning to speak, children
with cerebral palsy learning to move with more grace, depression
and anxiety disorders successfully treated, and lifelong character
traits changed. Using these marvelous stories to probe mysteries of
the body, emotion, love, sex, culture, and education, Dr. Doidge
has written an immensely moving, inspiring book that will
permanently alter the way we look at our brains, human nature, and
human potential.
