Changing Your Mind
Description
In this episode of Scientific American Frontiers, Alda meets two young women whose brains have remodeled themselves—one temporarily in response to a week of being blindfolded, the other permanently after a devastating brain injury before birth. They are dramatic examples of "neuroplasticity"—today's hot topic in brain research. Alda also joins researchers who have overthrown the conventional wisdom that adults can't grow new brain cells.
