How the brain works (and how little we know about it)

<p>Why is it that even when our brains experience a massive trauma, they can relearn how to do everything they did before. However, at the same time, massive trauma to the brain can also lead to a change in personality. How does that work?</p> <p> </p> <p>The word ‘Psychology’ actually means ‘study of the soul’ not ‘study of the mind’ and as a discipline, it’s only around 100 years old. When you consider that medicine has been around in various forms for thousands of years, it’s no surprise that we still know very little about how the brain actually works, where our thoughts or memories are stored, or why people can change personality after a traumatic brain injury.</p> <p> </p> <p>You could say that psychology actually has more in common with philosophy than medicine. Come and listen in to find out why.</p> <p> </p> <p>NB The views, information, or opinions expressed during the podcast and on social media or the internet are solely those of the guests involved and do not necessarily represent those of Menopause, Marriage and Motherhood and its employees.</p> <p>*This podcast does not constitute medical advice nor is it a training program or a recommendation.
