520 $aA new science called neuroplasticity is overthrowing the old notion that the human brain is immutable.Psychoanalyst Doidge traveled the country to meet both thebrilliant scientists championing neuroplasticity and thepeople whose lives they've transformed--people whosemental limitations or brain damage were seen asunalterable. We see a woman born with half a brain thatrewired itself to work as a whole, blind people who learnto see, learning disorders cured, IQs raised, aging brainsrejuvenated, stroke patients learning to speak, childrenwith cerebral palsy learning to move with more grace,depression and anxiety disorders successfully treated, andlifelong character traits changed. Using these stories toprobe mysteries of the body, emotion, love, sex, culture,and education, Dr. Doidge has written an inspiring bookthat will permanently alter the way we look at our brains,human nature, and human potential.--From publisherdescription
