Rewiring Neurons

Nabha if you are still reading this I must apologise for never having gotten around to posting on that book on consciousness research. The thing is, I borrowed it from the library, but was trying to do some personal writing at around the same time as when I had it, and therefore wasn't able to give it too much attention. I did read a recent issue of Time Magazine which focused on the brain, January 29 was the publication date if you'd care to check it out. It appears that the "new" orthodoxy is attempting to overturn the suggestion of duality between mind and body in a sharp departure from Western practice since Descartes. There was an article about "neuroplasticity" - the ability of the brain to rewire itself after injury. This is where thought (generated by the brain) alters the physicality of the "instrument" from which it comes. Amazing. I think there's an Escher engraving in that idea.
