About
"The author of The Brain That Changes Itself presents astounding advances in the treatment of brain injury and illness. The most important breakthrough in our understanding of the brain in four hundred years was the discovery that the brain can change its own structure and function in response to mental experience -- what we call neuroplasticity. This book shows how the amazing process of neuroplastic healing works. It describes natural, non-invasive avenues into the brain provided by the forms of energy around us-light, sound, vibration, movement-which pass through our senses and our bodies to awaken the brain's own healing capacities without producing unpleasant side effects. Doidge explores cases where patients alleviated years of chronic pain or recovered from debilitating strokes or accidents; children on the autistic spectrum or with learning disorders normalizing; symptoms of multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and cerebral palsy radically improved, and other near-miracle recoveries. How to vastly reduce the risk of dementia with simple approaches anyone can use."--Publisher.
