I’ve been learning about neuroplasticity this week and it truly has blown my mind and given me great hope for ways to treat diseases and disorders in the future. Our brain is so much more complex and adaptable than any of the smartest people in the world realized. Thankfully there’s a lot of really smart people alive today who are digging in to the research and learning how we can retrain our brain to help us cope with or cure just about any impairment we were born with or later acquired.

I couldn’t begin to do this topic justice, so instead I’m going to suggest that you watch this TedTalk by Don Vaughn, and if the topic grabs you as it did me, there’s a lot more out there on neuroplasticity.  Learning it will be good for your brain, too!
