Back in the ‘80s, when I was studying and started out as a young scientist, the going philosophy of that time was that the brain couldn’t change. Caroline’s Background in NeuroscienceĬaroline Leaf: Thank you, that’s such a great question, Chris, because it’s exactly what happened. Old ideas die hard, right?Ĭhris Kresser: So tell us a little bit about that experience that you had getting into that early on and the resistance that you faced and what unfolded from there. So how did you get interested in that? And I’d love to hear, as well, I know early on, there was a lot of resistance to the idea of neuroplasticity in the field of neuroscience. You were really a pioneer in the field of neuroplasticity, which is definitely an interest of mine, and I’ve talked a lot about it on the show. Love what you do.Ĭhris Kresser: So, before we dive into the topic of your most recent book, I want to learn a little bit more about you and your background and what brought you to the work that you’re doing right now. I’ve been looking forward to this conversation.Ĭaroline Leaf: Oh, thank you, Chris. ![]() Caroline Leaf, it’s such a pleasure to have you on the show. I’m fascinated by neuroplasticity and the implications of that very exciting field for both physical and mental health. I’m really looking forward to this conversation. Leaf has helped hundreds of thousands of students and adults learn how to use their mind to detox and grow their brain to succeed in every area of their lives, including school, university, and the workplace through her theory called the Geodesic Information Processing Theory of how we think, build memory, and learn. We’ve discussed that several times, one of my favorite topics, with direct mind input. She was one of the first in the field to study how the brain can change, which is neuroplasticity. Since the early 1980s, she’s researched the mind–brain connection, the nature of mental health, and the formation of memory. in communication pathology and a bachelor’s in logopedics, specializing in cognitive and metacognitive neuropsychology. She’s a communication pathologist and cognitive neuroscientist with a master’s and Ph.D. ![]() Welcome to another episode of Revolution Health Radio.
