As Doidge puts it, "I spoke with people who had strokes decades before and had been declared incurable, who were helped to recover with neuroplastic treatments. Having undertaken a series of travels and interviews-including talks with some of the world's top brain scientists-Dr Doidge explores the burgeoning area of "neuroplasticity." In effect, this is the property that allows the brain to change its very structure with each activity it performs. How much can the brain change, once it is injured or diseased? Can changing our minds also change our brains? These questions are the subject of a stimulating new book, The Brain That Changes Itself, by psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Norman Doidge, MD. New York: Viking Books, 2007 448 pages $24.95 (hardcover)
