The Leonard Lopate Show: Rewiring the Brain

Rewiring the Brain

In The Brain That Changes Itself, Dr. Norman Doidge explores neuroplasticity--or the brain’s ability to adapt and change over time. He tells us about patients whose brains have reorganized and rewired themselves to compensate for strokes, cerebral palsy, and blindness.

As a stroke survivor I found both TBI segments quite interesting!! I was fortunate enough to not only survive, but w/o any physical nor any long term cognitive deficits! Doctors say/claim that it had to do w/my relatively young age, 37 when the stroke occurred, my level of education and the immediate acute care I received. Always good to hear info/research that I have found/read/heard b4, it affirms that I did get top quality care and lucked out w/the good lord!
