What a fascinating read! Not just because it’s jammed packed with lots of interesting neuro-scientific information which is served in a very palatable way, but because it’s full of challenges to what we humans have wrongly believed for many years.
Feynman used to say ’something is only the truth until someone disproves it’. Yes, and the brain being the one organ that we’ve left to tackle last, holds vast amounts of – well – brain real estate. Best of all, it’s plasticity allows it to learn for as long as it’s taught something. Whether that’s because we decide to teach it something or it passively learns, it will not sit idly.
All in all a great read, with lots of inspiring accounts of our abilities to defy brain injuries.
