This reminds me of a book I read by Norman Doidge (I think it was called "The Brain that Changes Itself"). He talked about how this concept can apply to kids with learning disabilities as well, which I found quite interesting. It's exciting to hear that our brains are so capable of change!

I read a book called The Mind & The Brain by Dr. Jeffrey Schwartz. In it he chronicles the history of brain plasticity. So of course the work by Dr. Merzenich was detailed as well as the other pioneers in neuroplasticity research. Incredibly fascinating the discovery of our brains plasticity - and what hope it brings to us as we age!! Great article. I read a book called The Mind & The Brain by Dr. Jeffrey Schwartz.
