Conversation with Special Guest Michael Merzenich

NeuroMovement Revolution with Anat Baniel

Michael Merzenich, PhD, a world-renowned neuroscientist, is the “father” of brain plasticity science. Dr. Merzenich was awarded the 2016 Kavli Prize in Neuroscience, for his work in discovering adult brain plasticity and applying its principles to improve the human condition.

In this episode, Anat Baniel and Michael Merzenich discuss:

• how brain plasticity can be used to improve your life at any age;
• the key is to wake up the brain and provide the conditions for it to learn and evolve;
• “miraculous” changes can happen in a relatively short period of time;
• how trauma can impact the brain, and the role of brain training and the 9 Essentials in healing;
• brain and body health are not separate—movement is cognition;
• related questions from the audience.
