Rewiring the Brain

Monday, March 19, 2007

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.

The Brain That Changes Itself is available for purchase at amazon.com

    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!
