About this title: Schwartz, a UCLA psychiatrist, examines how and why the mind and the brain have been defined as separate things. MIND AND THE BRAIN also explores how brain dysfunctions are being reconsidered and how new treatments are reconstructing neural pathways once believed to be irreparable.

"Good summary of research into the brains capacity to change even when you are an old fart. Some interesting supporting research into the controversial idea that the mind can act on the brain. Descartes is frowning. James is smiling."
"First of all, neuroplasticity is just fun to say. It makes you sound all educated when you drop it in a conversation. But the truth of the matter is that Jeffrey Schwartz is able to explain a complicated subject to the common folk and teach us to utilize the benefits of science. So, where is your mind???? Find that out and you hold the keys to the kingdom. The answer is actually quite simple."
"This book explains the ability of the mind, or the will, to influence the brain. This has application for language learning. We can and do influence the ability of our brains to develop new neural circuits to cope with new languages. Language learning is more a matter of attitude than aptitude, I have always felt. This book supports this view."
