Below is a link to the preface of the book, "The Brain That Changes Itself", by Norman Doidge, about neuroplasticity.
I heard him interviewed today on CBC Radio. It was fascinating to hear his examples of how the brain, with repetition and proper techniques, can circumvent damaged areas of the brain or deactivate compulsive tendencies.
Could be a fascinating read for those of us who have done a bit of damage to the old noggin over the years.
