Re-training brain!

Read about this interesting concept called Neuroplasticity, where brain cells can be reorganized by our thinking and actions.

There was a story I read in the latest RD issue.. about a man, who had an accident and hurt his head in a way that made his legs immobile. The part of the brain that controlled the movement had been damaged severly, and it plainly meant he being on the wheelchair all his life. However, this man not being ready for this, went in for a rigorous physiotherapy to an extent that his other brain cells learnt to understand his leg movements, and now he is as normal as anyone. His brain cells learnt again what he had lost in the accident.
He amazed the doctors and amazed the world ! Thats the power of the brain - the most puzzling and complex organ !
WOWO ! I am awestruck !
