The flexible brain
HGSE Professor Kurt Fischer

Professor Kurt Fischer answers some fundamental questions about learning and the brain: Do new brain cells grow after childhood? What's the truth about right-brain versus left-brain thinking? Drawing on a broad range of research, from studies on rats to studies on children living with only one brain hemisphere, Dr. Fischer shares neuroscience perspectives on these issues and more, in this HGSE News interview.
