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 podcast, Anat Baniel interviews Dr. Merzenich, who has been a big supporter of NeuroMovement® and the 9 Essentials.
