The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science by Norman Doidge
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I requested this earlier book after I read The Brain's Way of Healing which was published in 2015.

This book deals more with the research necessary for scientists to overcome beliefs and presumptions that the brain, once damaged, is unlikely to restore skills and functions than The Brain's Way of Healing.It lays the foundation for possible treatments that have been used in the last eight years.

This book is not for all general readers for the amount of detail Doidge gives about the research may bore some readers. It is not for readers who are squeamish about the use of animals in scientific training.

The Brain's Way of Healing: Remarkable Discoveries and Recoveries from the Frontiers of Neuroplasticity by Norman Doidge
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I appreaciate medical nonfiction books that explain information to me in understandable terms. I enjoyed reading about information that may help patients with Parkinson Disease, traumatic brain injuries, strokes, dyslexia, listening, and seeing as there is more research into neuroplasticity of the brain.
I recommend this book to all readers, for nearly all readers have some contact with others who may benefit from the information some day.
