I'm still pretty intrigued by the brain plasticity video we watched last week. I can't help but wonder about all of the implications of brain plasticity, especially in areas such as PDD's, and learning disabilities (although many other areas have me interested too, like Alzheimers{family history and aging parents}). I found the link between reading disorders and processing rapid auditory signals pretty promising. (Been wondering about the link between auditory processing and dyslexia for a couple of years myself). The fact that training the neural systems responsible for this processing is improving reading skills in the reading disordered kids, has me pretty optimistic that similar training may improve other L.D.'s. (from the Foundations for a New Science of Learning article) The research with externalizing/internalizing comorbid kids and the Go/No Go testing could lead to new types of therapy for these kids (including ADHD kids).
