Retraining the Brain


CBS News posts a story about brain plasticity, using various non-drug therapies.

Using another therapy called the "Brain Gym", a software training device, others likewise regain use of facilities previously thought permanently lost.

Another rapidly growing area of non pharmaceutical brain retraining is Neurofeedback, described in this Wiki article with links.
