Summary
For centuries the human brain has been thought of as incapable of fundamental change. People suffering from neurological defects, brain damage or strokes were usually written-off as hopeless cases. But recent and continuing research into the human brain is radically changing how we look at the potential for neurological recovery. The human brain, as we are now quickly learning, has a remarkable ability to change itself - in fact, even to rewire itself. Psychiatrist and author, Dr. Norman Doidge travels across North America to meet some of the pioneering researchers who made revolutionary discoveries about the plasticity of the human brain. He also visits with people, once thought of as incurable, who are now living normal lives. Known in scientific circles as 'neuroplasticity,' this radical new approach to the brain provides an incredible way to bring the human brain back to life. The impact is just beginning to be felt in research, medical and rehabilitation circles.
