RE: Psychology Addict # 54 | Metacognition, Neuroplasticity & PR’s Incredible Brain.

in #psychology5 years ago

While reading this, I remembered the story of the surgical procedure that was popularized by Dr. Ben Carson; Hemispherectomy, which involves removal of part of the cerebral hemisphere of the brain, and the person will still assume normal cognitive abilities (all thanks to the human brain's ability of neuroplasticity).

It is very amazing how the human body can re-configure itself to adapt to a particular situation - no wonder humans have adapted and survived so long through evolutionary "thicks and thins".

Amazing piece as usual, Abbey. Much love from Nigeria

Nicely put! The extent of our adaptation capacity never ceases to amaze me. We truly are remarkable beings :) I'm so glad you enjoyed reading this peace Sammi, as I was particularly fascinated by this study and PR's resilience!

Sending you bags of love all the way from Portugal :)
