Brain plasticity is a hot topic now and isn't it nice that it is? Brain injuries used to mean heartache and hell and now we have learned there are ways to rewire the brain to create new neural pathways to a healthier result from a brain injured area. There are many different methods that are developing and having good success. This is a big change from the past. An audio book and a written book by Dr. Norman Doidge, called the Brain's Way of Healing, is full of examples of people who changed their brain injuries from destroying their life to creating new & healthier responses that gave them their life back. It takes a new way of thinking about this subject.
