The Science of the Brain
Before the invention of the fMRI machine, where you could see into people’s brains LIVE, while they were thinking and responding to a simulus, brain science was pretty much working in the dark.
I was told, as a teenager, that if I killed my brain cells I’d lose them forever. They were thought to never grow back.
Then came “neuroplasticity” – the understanding that the brain could change, was moldable like the Plasticine modeling clay I played with as a kid.
Yes, that’s right, we CAN change… but this is a double-edged sword. Not only can our brains get better, but they can also develop odd little problems because of this. Which leads to this video:
