R. Douglas Fields

R. Douglas Fields is a neuroscientist known for his research on how the brain and nervous system change and adapt, especially through neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections. His work explores how experiences, learning, and even injuries influence brain structure and function, contributing to our understanding of memory, recovery, and mental health. Fields combines scientific research with accessible writing to explain complex neural processes, aiming to increase awareness of the brain's remarkable capacity for change throughout life.
