106) Remarkable insight on the human brain from the frontiers of science
This has to be one of the most fascinated works I've come across in a while.
The main premise of the book is the extraordinary plasticity of the human brain. The author makes a compelling argument, supported by endless and very valuable examples, studies and facts to support this theory.

Some of the most exciting topics explore how the brain develops and learns, effects of certain disorders (i.e. obsessive-compulsive disorder), addictions and strokes on its function and current treatments that reverse these effects.

The author gives several recommendations for programs that can help young and aging brains stay alert and agile by following the latest research and applied scientific discoveries. The final parts of the book discuss how vision and culture's profound implications on the brain's neuroplasticity.

I highly recommended this book for all readers who may be remotely curious about the human physiology.

105) Giving it a Try
I am still reading this book but am well into the 2nd half. Very good reading, amazing discoveries. I am trying out some of what I have read to see if I can get my leg working again. Time will tell, also patience and endurance.
