Your brain can change

This publication deals with the concept of neuroplasticity, which is the brain's remarkable ability to change and adapt throughout life. One famous rule states that if two neurons are activated together, the connection between them is strengthened. This implies that we can largely influence which neural pathways are created and which ones disappear.
The book presents the stories of patients for whom innovative treatments have helped to significantly improve conditions previously considered incurable, such as living with only the right hemisphere or having an almost non-existent ability to maintain balance. It shows the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder or aggressive sexuality by creating new neural connections, as well as therapy for problems related to phantom limbs using a mirror. The book has been praised by famous neuroscientists such as Oliver Sacks and Vilayanur Ramachandran, and has been purchased by over a million readers to date. This is a new, updated edition of the book.
