Kelly Lambert recommended this book while she spoke at the DKG Southeast Regional Conference, and I downloaded it to my Kindle that day. I have learned so much about the brain repairing itself from this book! It is amazing what the brain can do in its "plasticity." HAving suffered some brain function loss after a "tick fever," I have experienced some use of new and improved brain areas. I am really glad to be able to learn student names again, but my calendar skills still need help - me, who was like Rainman with a calendar and math!
I had to read the first chapter to my A&P 2 students. This chapter was about a woman who had NO sense of balance. Her "scientists" used her tongue! to send balance information to her brain!
I have met many great people through this book. Dr. Edward Taub developed constrain-induced therapy to help stroke victim regain use of affected limbs.
Barbara Arrowsmith Young (who cured herself of multiple learning disorders, and developed a school to cure others) has an amazing story. You will learn of her personal triumph over brain damage and the school she developed!
I am still reading this book, a couple of chapters each night. I am learning so much good stuff!
