That's the intriguing conclusion neuroscientists are reaching as scanning technologies let them see how the brain processes pain. Alternative remedies for relief of chronic pain are getting new attention and respect these days. Melinda Beck has details on Lunch Break. That's also the principle behind many mind-body approaches to chronic pain that are proving surprisingly effective in clinical trials.

And so, I would say that for hundreds of years, it’s been known implicitly that the brain must undergo change because, of course, if the brain is the physical object by which we generate our consciousness and ourselves, then there must be some physical change happening in the brain. So in that sense, I think neuroplasticity has been known implicitly for centuries. But I think it’s really been in the last few decades become really appreciated exactly what happens in the brain.
