Title: Molding the brain
Review: This book reviews the state-of-the-art in brain development and on the factors driving its state. The author's viewpoint is the one of a neurocientist, hence more centered on neuronal molding than on learning. The author shows that what we call brain development is actually about partially limiting the adaptivity of the brain circuitry. Still, there is always potential for adaptation, age does not prevent the molding of the brain. The evolution of the brain is driven both by genetics and learning. So how we use it matters a lot! Saying that one is too old to change is just an excuse.
