For the past 400 years we have thought of the human brain as a machine: a hard-wired instrument incapable of fundamental change. You’re stuck with what you’re born with.
Well. We’ve been wrong.
The brain can change its own structure and function through thought and activity. This sentence is the most important shift in our view of the brain since we first sketched out its basic anatomy four centuries ago.

This revolution has profound implications for our understanding of how love, sex, grief, relationships, learning, addictions, culture, technology, and psychotherapies change our brains. This is nothing less than a scientific revolution, a major paradigm shift, a revolution of thought.
In this documentary that shows the brain as fluid rather than hardwired, bestselling author, psychiatrist and researcher Dr. Norman Doidge introduces us to both the brilliant scientists championing this frontier science and the astonishing progress of people whose lives have been saved and transformed because of it.

This is an age where images of war appear on our television screens like real-life extensions of some teenager's computer game. Technology and modern weaponry so dominates the battlefield that the public expects conflicts to be won without casualties, much less deaths, among its armed forces. It is all a far cry from a time not so long ago when one famous commander called the machine gun an 'interesting but over-rated' weapon and sent men to their deaths in their thousands while he tried to prove his theory. The new generation, it seems, simply would not tolerate the sight of another sea of white crosses or further additions to the thousands of names that stare out from the moving memorials at the Menin Gate, or Thiepval, or the Somme, or Normandy.
