  • great vid. Sorry, but I found it hard to hear with the accent. That was the only con I can think of. I wish I had smart profs like this guy, Unfortunately, I am bound to high school (although I take online courses as a freshman). Again, good vid.

  • @palomablanca17

    From what i understand about plasticity you have to give the brain a stimulus to grow. I am looking for a way to increase my brain function (speed, memory etc), any suggestions on how to go about doing that? What is the best way to FORCE the brain to do these things?

  • @ isbcrv

    it probably could - but it would take much longer than with children. Just look at people who had a stroke: usually the younger the patient is, the faster do other regions of the brain take over the functions. (Although with this example it also matters how large the affected area is)

  • I wonder what would have happened if she had to go through that procedure as an adult?

    Can an adult brain hemisphere make up for the other half...?

  • I thought it was the part that control facial expression of the brain that was larger with einstein

  • perro si hablas feo el ingles cuando preparas uno en español por favor!!! muy importante tu informacion felicitaciones saludos!!

  • Highly interesting

    " reconciliation of critical period studies demonstrating the immutability of the brain after development with the new findings on neuroplasticity which reveal the mutability of both structural and functional aspects. A substantial paradigm shift is now under way: Canadian psychiatrist Norman Doidge has stated that neuroplasticity is "one of the most extraordinary discoveries of the twentieth century."
