Neuroplasticity, the finding that the adult brain can rewire and heal itself in ways once thought impossible, is the subject of this accessible science film. Through researchers' work and patients' stories, it shows recoveries from stroke, disability, and injury achieved by retraining the brain. It translates a technical field into human terms, favoring case and consequence over dense theory. It is an encouraging and clear introduction to a genuinely significant shift in understanding.
