Week 5
I found it interesting that one can actually change the structure of their brain through hard work and memorization. No drugs are needed to accomplish this. "Simply by doing something repetitively, or doing something differently, can affect a change — not only in your life, but in your actual brain’s structure. This perhaps helps explain why oftentimes psychotherapy works just as well (or even better) than drugs on mental disorders. It helps you think and act in ways differently than you have, perhaps resulting in direct biochemical and structural changes in your brain functioning (eventually)."

That is very interesting how our mind works. It still surprises me though, how much someone can get intelligence through drugs.
Yeah, I read that article too! It's really interesting. Good blog :)
awesome! it's good information to know. so people can be as good as they want to be if just try!
I agree with Ann; it's good to know that if you just keep trying at something, you'll eventually get there =)
Interesting article! Nice post.
This is good. and soo true. everyone these days is on soo many different medications, and they don't realize that that doesn't make their problems go away, but therapy and just trying to get better can. good article!
This is a very interesting article and it couldn't be more true.
Very interesting post. You explained the article well. Great post! :)
Very interesting. The human body is extremely adaptable and this post demonstrates that very well. It also gives hope to people who have some mental health issues. Good job.
Wow, I didn't know the structure of a brain could change just through memorization.
