In his groundbreaking work "The Brain That Changes Itself", Norman Doidge introduced readers to neuroplasticity -- the brain's ability to change its own structure and function in response to activity and mental experience. Now he shows how the amazing process of neuroplastic healing really works in people whom traditional medicine had all but abandoned as hopeless and untreatable. Here he describes natural, noninvasive avenues into the brain provided by the mind and the energy around us -- in light, sound, vibration, and movement -- that can awaken the brain's own healing capacities without producing unpleasant side effects. Doidge explores cases where patients alleviated "incurable" chronic pain; recovered from debilitating strokes, brain injuries, and learning disorders; and found relief from symptoms of autism, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and cerebral palsy. We learn how to vastly reduce the risk of dementia, with simple approaches anyone can use to improve the brain's performance and health.
