The Brain That Changes Itself
Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science
Norman Doidge
The book presents a collection of case studies and scientific findings that illustrate the brain's remarkable ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life, a concept known as neuroplasticity. It explores how this adaptability can lead to recovery from brain injuries, the overcoming of learning disabilities, and the improvement of cognitive functions, challenging the traditional notion that the brain's structure is fixed.
