This book discusses a revolutionary discovery in the study of the human brain, demonstrating its ability for self-modification. It presents stories of scientists, doctors, and patients who have achieved amazing transformations. All of them... managed, without surgical intervention or medication, to utilize a previously unknown ability of the brain to change. The discovery that the brain can change its own structure and functioning through human thoughts and actions is the most important innovation in our understanding of the human brain since the anatomy and functioning of its main structural unit—the neuron—were first broadly outlined.
 
This is a revolution! And it will have fundamentally important consequences. This book was one of the first to introduce readers to the newly uncovered possibilities of the brain.
 
You will learn:
– examples of patient recoveries after strokes;
– the case of a woman who had half a brain from birth, which reprogrammed itself to perform the functions of the missing half;
– stories of overcoming untrainability and emotional disorders, increasing intelligence levels, and restoring an aging brain.
 
The methods presented in the book will be interesting and useful to all readers.
