My hairdresser's wife offered me these cookies the last time I was there to have my hair done. She made the one without the hearts. It was so good, with some kind of jam in the centre.
Dr Norman Doidge has written a new book on the topic. It discusses using neuroplasticity to rewire the brain and thus treat conditions such as multiple sclerosis and attention disorders.
'And in Toronto, children in headphones at The Listening Centre listen to sound frequencies aimed at training the brain to filter noise differently and, in turn, set off a series of signal changes that may reduce symptoms of ADHD, learning disabilities and developmental conditions like autism.'
Apparently many autistic children have inflammation in their bodies, and they now think this extends to their brains. So it interferes with how neurons in the brain connect. Doidge thinks sound therapy can help.
There was an interesting article in the paper the other day. It concerned neuroplasticity.
Neuroplasticity says that the brain can rewire and repair itself from injury and disease. Dr Norman Doidge has written a new book on the topic. It discusses using neuroplasticity to rewire the brain and thus treat conditions such as multiple sclerosis and attention disorders.

It would be wonderful if it were possible to prevent and treat brain disorders, but I am always scared that things like this can be used in wrong ways, too! Those cookies look good. Valerie
I know people with autism. I hope more advances will be made in this area. It's good to know they are discovering new things.
Those cookies look delicious. I want one.
I hope this type of therapy works and is not just a fluke.
the cookies look wonderful , the injury of my brain did find new routes to correct a couple of my problems thank goodness,
I have read about this, surgery was not an option for me, for the simple reason they feared I would end up worse, I have never given up hope that I will see clearly again though,
cute cookies
I'm glad to know that science is not giving up and stopping in finding ways to help develop the brains especially of those with special needs or treatment. :)
Hope we find the best therapy/solution soon.
Very interesting, Christine. I hope this therapy can help!
The cookies look delicious. I hope this therapy does work and they find new and better ways to help people...
Those cookies look very delicious. And there are all kinds of medical advancements going on. I can't imagine what it'll be like 100 years from now.
I've never heard of this procedure. They are doing so many wonderful things in medicine today. There is a tremendous need for something like this in the world today.
Cookies look good and I love how our brains work. Magic, sometimes.
I've read Norman Doidge "The Brain that Changes Itself" and found it very interesting. I didn't realise he had written another book.
Thanks for letting me know Christine.
Big hugs
