INFORMATION OM PRODUKTEN
'An incredible voyage of discovery . . . intensely moving and awe-inspiring' - Marina Hyde
'Sensational. A moving, thoughtful and truly fascinating read' - Abi Morgan, author of This is Not a Pity Memoir
In How to Use a Fork, the beautiful science of brain plasticity meets remarkable human stories of survival and recovery. We meet the woman who thought her arm was a baby, the man who saw mannequins peering at him through the dark, and the patient who found his way back to human interaction through music.
As a medical student, Orlando Swayne was taught that a broken brain doesn't mend. But as a junior doctor, he began to meet patients for whom this was clearly not the case. Intrigued by what he saw, he delved deep into the emerging neuroscience of brain reorganisation, and discovered that over time brain tissue creates new networks and regenerates.
Developments in neurology continue to reveal new capabilities that allow functions we thought to be lost to be restored. The key to recovery, a return to some semblance of our previous selves after brain injury, lies in neurorehabilitation: painstaking work that rebuilds shattered lives.
Irresistible to anyone who is curious about the mysteries of the brain, How to Use a Fork is a fascinating journey into the outer reaches of human experience.
