    <![CDATA[An astonishing new science called neuroplasticity is overthrowing the centuries-old notion that the human brain is immutable. In this revolutionary look at the brain, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Norman Doidge, M.D., provides an introduction to both the brilliant scientists championing neuroplasticity and the people whose lives theyve transformed. From stroke patients learning to speak again to the remarkable case of a woman born with half a brain that rewired itself to work as a whole, <em>The Brain That Changes Itself</em> will permanently alter the way we look at our brains, human nature, and human potential.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was a very interesting read.  I found it to be a pretty &quot;light&quot; read, in that the science mumbo-jumbo had been effectively translated into English.  But that doesn't mean Doidge's claims are unsupported--throughout the text, and in extensive notes, he cites published research res...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24340491">more...</a>]]></body>
