Maysoon Zayid was not supposed to walk, nor be the amazing and capable person she is today. She beat the odds. Many children with cerebral palsy do not. Can other children like her surpass what doctors and others believe possible for them? The answer is a resounding yes⎯by harnessing the remarkable powers of the brain to change itself for the better. How can that be done?
Cerebral Palsy is an injury to the brain that interferes with the spontaneous process of movement development in the child. It is easy to mistake the child’s limitations to mean that the brain itself is limited in its capacity to learn and that the current limitations define what is possible for the child in the future.

A team of mind readers can now pinpoint exactly when a rat feels uncertain about its choices, simply by measuring its brain activity.
Doubt, they’ve discovered, creeps into the mind slowly. It starts with a few nerve cells near the front of the brain that get themselves into a tizzy. More and more cells join in, until a line is crossed and the mental maelstrom shakes up established patterns of brain activity — allowing rats, and possibly humans as well, to question their old beliefs about the world and explore new options, researchers report in the Oct. 5 issue of the journal Science.
