The brain and how it develops its structure and performance

Author : Norman Doidge

This book talks about the revolutionary discovery that the human brain can transform itself.” As the New York Times commented: “The power of positive thinking is finally winning scientific credibility. subject the brain. And making miracles, and taming the truth..a book that bridges the gap between science and self-help.”

It has prevailed in the scientific community, and after several experiments that did not lead to the required success, or whose success was limited in time, that “the treatment of many brain problems is ineffective and even unjustified”, and that “the brain cannot change”, and therefore “human nature is emanating from it seemed necessarily immutable as well.” The author of this book shows just the opposite, through this scientific study and field research and through the amazing positive results achieved by many scientists with a range of clinical cases, which is considered a revolution in this field that will have profound effects on “our understanding of how love, sadness, relationships and learning change Addiction, culture, technology and psychotherapies are our brains.”

According to the famous author, physician and psychoanalyst, “The idea that the brain can change its structure through thought and activity is, in my opinion, the most important modification in our view of the brain since we first outlined its basic structure and the actions of its main component, which is the “neuron” or nerve cell. ". This discovery, "certainly one of the most extraordinary discoveries of the twentieth century", made by a group of specialized scientists, opened the door to a new science of changing brains called "neuroplasticity", a term that refers to "the plasticity of the neurons in our brains and systems." Nervousness and its susceptibility to change.
