We meet the woman who thought her arm was a baby, the man who saw mannequins peering at him through the dark, and the patient who found his way back to human interaction through music.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a medical student, Orlando Swayne was taught that a broken brain doesn’t mend. But as a junior doctor, he began to meet patients for whom this was clearly not the case. Intrigued by what he saw, he delved deep into the emerging neuroscience of brain reorganisation, and discovered that over time brain tissue creates new networks and regenerates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDevelopments in neurology continue to reveal new capabilities that allow functions we thought to be lost to be restored. The key to recovery, a return to some semblance of our previous selves after brain injury, lies in neurorehabilitation: painstaking work that rebuilds shattered lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIrresistible to anyone who is curious about the mysteries of the brain,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eHow to Use a Fork\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a fascinating journey into the outer reaches of human experience.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"author-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAuthor Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"author-bio\"\u003eOrlando Swayne is a consultant neurologist who works primarily in the neurorehabilitation of acquired brain injury, including stroke, but who also has a wide general neurology practice. He is a consultant neurologist at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (NHNN), where he leads the Neurorehabilitation Unit, and is a member of the Department of Brain Repair and Rehabilitation at the UCL Institute of Neurology. He also works at Northwick Park Hospital and the Wellington Hospital. He has published widely on the control of movement by the brain and the role of brain plasticity in recovery following stroke.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eHow to Use a Fork\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eis his first book.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"author-bio\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e320 pages \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-v-7d498d3a=\"\" class=\"product-description\"\u003ePaperback\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EmmasatOxford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48608558514330,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0013\/9024\/8009\/files\/how-to-use-a-fork-9781035064359_e274e723-0605-4a36-b27e-f3b4df1661df.jpg?v=1783049095","url":"https:\/\/emmasatoxford.com\/products\/how-to-use-a-fork-stories-of-mending-the-broken-brain-orlando-swayne-pre-order","provider":"EmmasatOxford","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
