About the Book: Orlando Swayne, once taught that a damaged brain cannot heal, became fascinated by patients who proved otherwise. How to Use a Fork explores the emerging science of brain plasticity through remarkable true stories: a woman who believed her arm was a baby, a man who saw mannequins in the dark, and a patient who reconnected through music. The book reveals how the brain rebuilds itself after injury through neurorehabilitation, offering hope and insight into recovery. It’s a fascinating journey into the outer edges of human resilience and neuroscience.
