The Brain That Changes Itself

Book • 2007
This book challenges the traditional view that the brain is fixed and unchangeable.

Norman Doidge presents case studies and scientific research that demonstrate the brain's ability to reorganize itself in response to injury, learning, and experience.

The book covers various aspects of neuroplasticity, including recovery from brain damage, treatment of mental disorders, and the impact of culture and education on brain development.

Doidge's work highlights the potential for brain change and its implications for human nature and potential.
