[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 673457, member: 17461"] 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. [U]The Brain That Changes Itself [/U] Norman Doidge [U]The Brain's Way of Healing [/U]Norman Doidge [U]Train Your Mind Change Your Brain[/U] Begley There are three other books dealing with these changed ways of understanding our brains and what they are really capable of. The first writer has a TED talk: [MEDIA=youtube]Nu7wEr8AnHw[/MEDIA] The books: [U]Mindsight[/U] Siegel [U]Heal Thyself[/U] Santorelli [U]Full Catastrophe Living[/U] Zinn Cedar [/QUOTE]
