For decades, the conventional wisdom of neuroscience held that the
hardware of the brain is fixed - that we are stuck with what we
were born with. But recent pioneering experiments in
neuroplasticity reveal that the brain is capable not only of
altering its structure but also of generating new neurons, even
into old age. The brain can adapt, heal, renew itself after trauma
and compensate for disability. In this groundbreaking book, highly
respected science writer Sharon Begley documents how this
fundamental paradigm shift is transforming both our understanding
of the human mind and our approach to deep-seated emotional,
cognitive and behavioural problems. These breakthroughs show that
it is possible to reset our happiness meter, regain the use of
limbs disabled by stroke, train the mind to break cycles of
depression and OCD and reverse age-related changes in the brain.
