There are new theories out there about what our brains are, how they actually work. For instance, there are no discrete areas which can only operate for speech or vision; tying down the side affected in a stroke results in new brain pathways to re-energize the affected side, stuff like that. This is altering concept of the brain and treatment of everything having to do with the brain, from psychotherapy to autism to stroke.
