The Brain That Changes Itself (2)

Brain can change its own structure and function through thought and activity. 

The architecture of the brain differs from one person to the next and that it changes in the course of our individual lives.

Neuroplasticity has the power to produce more flexible but also more rigid behaviors --- a phenomenon I call "the plastic paradox." Ironically, some of our most stubborn habits and disorders are products of our plasticity. Once a particular plastic change occurs in the brain and becomes well established, it can prevent other changes from occurring.
