"A remarkable and hopeful portrait of the incalculable human brain permeability," Oliver Sacks.
For over four decades, science and traditional medicine defended the immutability as characteristic of brain anatomy. The most widespread view was that the human mind was changed only in childhood and only after it changed to begin a process of deterioration. Today, advances in neuroscience and observation of patients with irreparable brain damage, in addition anonymous people's interest to improve the quality of their minds, show the opposite and show that a damaged brain can reorganize if any part fails, and change its structure and function through the activity and thought.
The psychiatrist and researcher Norman Doidge reveals a path of scientific study that may belong to the land of fantasy and through actual clinical cases, full of tenderness and self-improvement, brings the most innovative and revolutionary theories of neuroplasticity.
The brain changes itself is a hopeful portrait of the incalculable human brain permeability.
"Lucid and absolutely fascinating. A delightful series of real evidence. " The Chicago Tribune
