[quote=Anonymous]It is fascinating. The brain plasticity point makes me thing of stroke victims or those with brain injury (like Gabby Giffords) -- the brain can repair itself, to a certain extent, with the right amount of training and inputs. It doesn't meant that the deficit wasn't there to begin with. I'm sure 50 years ago, doctors would have said that Congresswoman Giffords would never talk again. I've started reading all this stuff about brain development just as a mom, but now I wish I'd known how interesting it was back when I was in college and deciding what to do with my life! As for the NIH brain study, ABC and Grey's Anatomy should kick in some money, since they've now made it a major plot point on the show. I wonder if the NIH PR folks planted that story idea to try to generate public support? If so, good for them![/quote]
