In a TEDx Talk, brain researcher Dr. Lara Boyd talks about neuroplasticity, how we learn, and how short-term and long-term memory work.

Lara Boyd talks further about behavior bringing about changes to the brain, and about why it's so hard to recover after a stroke.

Lara Boyd concludes her fascinating talk on the brain, explaining how personalized medicine and biomarkers can apply, not just to recovery from stroke and cancer treatment, but to teaching and learning in everyday life.
