Description

Our brains are constantly changing, a concept known as neuroplasticity. Fifty years ago, scientists believed that the brain was fixed, but today we know that it adapts throughout our lives. In this book, Moheb Costandi explores the science behind neuroplasticity, describing how our brains change in response to our actions and experiences. Costandi discusses key findings, including how our brains develop, how we learn new skills, and how they compensate for injury or illness. He also explains how our thinking about the brain has evolved over time, and how this understanding has led to new approaches to brain training and cognitive development. By understanding neuroplasticity, we can gain insights into what makes us human and how we can improve our cognitive function. This book provides a concise and engaging overview of the latest research, making it an ideal introduction to the subject for anyone interested in neuroscience and cognitive science.
