Before reading scholarly articles about cutting-edge research, I want to read some of the major books on brain health, especially those that focus on neuroplasticity. I need a foundation of what's already been established and what is common knowledge among lay readers who have an interest in neurology.
I had the good fortune of getting some recommendations from these fellow midlife bloggers (in alphabetical order):
- Laura Lee Carter (Midlife Crisis Queen)
- Ruth Curran (Cranium Crunches)
- Donna Highfill (Power Up)
- Pia Savage (Odd Girl In / Courting Destiny)
Ackerman creates a customized occupational therapy regime for her author husband that helps him recover from his stroke-induced aphasia.
This comes highly recommended. Check back later for my review.

Taylor is a brain biologist who suffered a stroke and recovered to write about the trauma and the triumph.
Have you read any of these? Do you have another recommendation for a book published in the last 5 years on neuroplasticity for the lay reader? Let me know by leaving a comment below.
