Oliver Sacks called this 'a remarkable and hopeful portrait of the endless adaptability of the human brain'. In recent years, neuroscientists have learned that the brain is more plastic than previously thought. This discovery, called neuroplasticity, has profound implications for the treatment of a huge variety of brain disorders and learning disabilities. Everything from dementia, stroke, blindness, cerebral palsy, even autism, come under Doidge's microscope as he travels the world talking to people who are working at the forefront of this possible revolution. The personal stories of triumph described in this book make it an inspiring and moving work, which has changed the way I think about the brain and its potential.
