具体描述
An astonishing new science called neuroplasticity is overthrowing the centuries-old notion that the human brain is immutable. Psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, Norman Doidge, M.D., traveled the country to meet both the brilliant scientists championing neuroplasticity and the people whose lives they’ve transformed—people whose mental limitations or brain damage were seen as unalterable. We see a woman born with half a brain that rewired itself to work as a whole, blind people who learn to see, learning disorders cured, IQs raised, aging brains rejuvenated, stroke patients learning to speak, children with cerebral palsy learning to move with more grace, depression and anxiety disorders successfully treated, and lifelong character traits changed. Using these marvelous stories to probe mysteries of the body, emotion, love, sex, culture, and education, Dr. Doidge has written an immensely moving, inspiring book that will permanently alter the way we look at our brains, human nature, and human potential.

It takes me almost a month to read through this book, on my subway ride to work and back home. When I started reading, I think the book is just an easy read for killing time on my morning and dusk commute. But I was being ignorantly wrong. This book is a ve...
首先,从这本书中学到了些关于人的神经系统的基本知识。我原有的关于人体神经系统的知识大概还都是中学时生理卫生课上学的。现在看来,中国的中学教育虽然内容过于繁重,但要不是有那时打下的各学科的基础,对很多人而言,以后还真少有机会接触那些领域的科学知识了。 大脑的...
“无疑的,”坎德尔写道,“心理分析可以导致大脑的改变。”最近的大脑扫描发现在心理分析之前和之后,大脑有重组的现象,治疗的效果越好,大脑的改变越大。当病人重新体验他以前的创伤,重现不可控制的情绪时,额叶的血流量降低了,这个区域原是帮助病人调节他的行为的,这表...
读这本《重塑大脑,重塑人生》的时候,我的内心是极其矛盾的,舌尖的味蕾也是五味杂陈,仿佛别人给你了一块撒上了椒盐的西瓜,还不得不把它吃完。 本书的主旨是讨论脑神经的可塑性,但作者又用非常情绪化的语言,极尽鼓噪之能是。听着感觉像是朋友给你介绍一对象,把对方说的简...
