The Brain That Changes Itself
Norman Doidge examines the paradigm-shifting science of neuroplasticity, demonstrating that the human brain is not a collection of fixed parts but a dynamic organ capable of self-reorganization. The text utilizes case studies of patients overcoming strokes, sensory impairments, and learning disabilities to illustrate how mental exercise and physical activity physically alter neural circuitry.
