報告簡介：Dr. Merzenich will summarize how the neuroscience of brain plasticity is changing the therapeutic landscape for professional communities addressing brain-based disorders and disease. After considering the neurological bases of training-driven neuroplasticity, he shall describe how this neuroscience-guided perspective distinguishes this new approach from (a) the more-behavioral, traditional clinical strategies of professional therapy practitioners, and (b) an even more widely applied pharmaceutical treatment model for neurological and psychiatric treatment domains. With that background, he proposes that neuroplasticity-based treatments will be an important part of future best-treatment practices in neurological and psychiatric medicine.
