Chapter Overview

Description

The Brain’s Way of Healing (2015) highlights the human brain’s amazing ability to change its structure and develop new ways of coping with disorders.

Who Should Listen

  • People suffering from a neurological disorder such as Parkinson’s or multiple sclerosis
  • Physicians and therapists who work with people trying to recover from brain damage
  • Students of neurology looking for new ways to cure old problems
