Ramachandra appeared, who I have respected for many years. I am pleased to say, that feeling, abated when Doctor V.S. My aversion to cheaply hidden promotional content masquerading as objective content is very strong. I have an extreme dislike for what I refer to as infotainment, (infomercial style). It wasn't a 100%, but a strong sense that I was being sold a bill of goods, particularly with the carefully scripted, classically lit subjects, and the constant repetition of the words neuroplasticity, neuroplasticity neuroplasticity, perhaps 30- 40 times I guess. I had a bad feeling about this documentary, and it's style from the start. I have an acute sense of (media communication style). For that reason alone, this film is a fascinating exploration that is relevant to all viewers. This exciting realm of medical science can point the way to a more enlightened existence, and unlock a potential in the human species never before believed possible. The implications set forth are not limited to the treatment of traumatic injury. Their findings offer hope to victims of crippling neurological conditions like stroke, cerebral palsy, and chronic depression. The Brain That Changes Itself introduces us to many of these brilliant figures as well as a host of patients who have benefited from their brave new world of research. They result from the tireless efforts of some of the world's most progressive medical scientists. Droidge has not come to these conclusions on his own. Ongoing studies are indicating that in many cases, the healthy parts of the brain can be recruited to supplant those that are defective.ĭr. The phenomenon of neuroplasticity provides evidence of the brain's stunning malleability, and its inherent capacity to overcome and adapt to even the most severe challenges. The revolution began with the discovery of neuroplasticity, a term used to describe the structural changes of neurons in response to factors like environment, thought processes, and bodily injury. Droidge, would alter our perspectives on brain disease and dysfunction, and revolutionize our understanding of human nature itself. But what if the brain is actually morphing and maturing at all times based upon the stimuli of its environment? Such a notion, as argued by Dr. Norman Doidge.įor four hundred years, the common perception was that the brain worked much like a computer, and its functionalities were set as firmly in place as any machine. The documentary The Brain That Changes Itself explores these groundbreaking findings as heralded in a book of the same title by psychiatrist and researcher Dr. Contrary to previous widely held beliefs, the human brain exists in a perpetual state of constant change. There's so much about the human brain that continues to baffle and mystify our top medical researchers, but one aspect of its complex design is starting to come into focus.
