Norman Doidge

Norman Doidge is a Canadian psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and author known for his work on brain plasticity—how our brains can change and adapt throughout life. His popular books, such as "The Brain That Changes Itself," explore the concept that the brain can reorganize itself by forming new neural connections in response to learning or injury. Doidge discusses innovative therapies and treatments that leverage this plasticity, indicating that recovery from neurological disorders is often possible. His work bridges neuroscience and psychology, making complex scientific ideas accessible to a general audience and offering hope for those facing cognitive challenges.
