As a child, she read and wrote everything backwards, was physically uncoordinated and she continually got lost. But \u003cb\u003eby relying on her formidable memory and iron will\u003c\/b\u003e, she made her way to graduate school, where she chanced upon research that inspired her to invent cognitive exercises to 'fix' her own brain, which we now now as neuroplasticity.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Woman Who Changed Her Brain\u003c\/i\u003e interweaves Barbara's personal story with riveting case\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003ehistories\u003c\/b\u003e from over thirty years of working with both children and adults at what became the Arrowsmith School in Toronto.
