Cheryl has the constant sensation of falling due to a deficit of its vestibular apparatus, Barbara has an asymmetrical brain and is considered "delayed" , Michael is an eye surgeon who suffers a disabling stroke forty-four years. These are just some of the stories told at the frontiers of neuroscience in this essay for them and for many other types of patients now have a real chance of recovery and complete recovery. The discovery that paved the way for this is well-founded hope of neuroplasticity, which is the property of the brain to be more malleable, not only in childhood. The brain were a machine immutable and that every part could not be replaced or repaired was taken in the last century indisputable: Once jammed, the perfect device would remain hopelessly corrupt. The argument that sparked the revolution of neuroscience, however, tells us that the brain can change itself and can functionally reorganize all its parts to remedy the deficiencies that are created as a result of trauma or the slow aging process . Not only that. The whole experience human can be explained by exploring the potential of the malleable brain: creativity and love, addiction and obsession. It is very complex neurological processes that are investigated, indeed, vigorously told with simplicity and clarity. (20 €, 2007, 410 p., Ponte alle Grazie) "In this book you can find a very interesting chapter devoted to Ramachandran and phantom limbs, Merzenich studies on the plasticity of maps of the sensory cortex in monkeys and many other studies on the plasticity of the brain. Good Read
