The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science

Meet the ninety year old doctor, who, with the aid of a few simple exercises, is still practising medicine. His is just one of the incredible stories brain expert Norman Doidge tells as he reveals our brain's remarkable ability to repair itself through the power of positive thought. In The Brain That Changes Itself Doidge introduces us to the fascinating stories at the cutting edge of the brain science and the emerging discipline of 'neuroplasticity' . We meet the stroke victim who unable to feed or dress himself learned to move and talk again, the woman with a rare brain condition that left her feeling as though she was perpetually falling but who through a series of exercises rewired her brain to overcome this and the maverick scientists over turning centuries of assumptions about the brain and it's capacity for renewal. Doidge shows how their incredible work is helping the blind to see, the deaf to hear and causing Nobel laureates to rethink our model of the brain.

O cérebro se modifica. Ele é um órgão plástico, vivo e pode de fato transformar as suas próprias estruturas e funções, mesmo em idades avançadas. A neuroplasticidade — uma das descobertas mais revolucionárias desde que os cientistas desvendaram os primeiros esboços da anatomia básica do cérebro — promete derrubar a noção ultrapassada de que o cérebro adulto é rígido e imutável. A neuroplasticidade não apenas dá esperança àqueles com limitações mentais, ou com lesões neurológicas consideradas incuráveis, mas também expande nosso entendimento da saúde do cérebro. Norman Doidge, psiquiatra e pesquisador, estabelece uma investigação da neuroplasticidade e apresenta tanto os cientistas que estão dominando essa área quanto as pessoas cujas vidas foram melhoradas por esses estudos.O cérebro que se transforma apresenta casos que detalham o progresso surpreendente de pacientes, como uma mulher que nasceu com apenas metade do cérebro, mas que conseguiu se adaptar e levar uma vida normal; uma mulher rotulada como doente mental, que curou suas deficiências e agora ajuda outros a fazerem o mesmo; pessoas cegas que voltaram a enxergar; dificuldades de aprendizagem curadas; recuperação de pacientes que sofreram derrames; depressão e ansiedade crônicas que desapareceram, entre outros casos.Doidge nos leva a um território que parece fantástico. Aprendemos como nossos pensamentos podem ativar ou desativar nossos genes, alterando a anatomia do cérebro. Vemos como os cientistas desenvolveram máquinas que podem acompanhar essas mudanças físicas para ler os pensamentos, permitindo que uma pessoa com paralisia controle computadores e aparelhos elet
