This blog began as a record of spinning and weaving projects, but nine months later it appears it will be about brain science AND fiberarts.
I don't want posts to be too wordy, though. (That is for the authors of the brain science books!) In posting I hope to take a "zinger" or two, add a dash of homemade art, and show the author and title of my source.
Today's entry: For centuries we believed the adult brain was fixed and unchanging. Through a revolutionary discovery called neuroplasticity, we now know that the brain can change its own structure and function, even into old age.
