摘要

In his twenties, Mike Merzenich dreamed of mapping the neurobiology of the soul. "I was interested in the genesis of the self," he says. "It's the kind of thing you think about when you're young and dumb." Four decades later, he has scaled back his ambitions. Now a graying 64, he hopes merely to reverse the toll of aging on the brain and cure schizophrenia. Without surgery or drugs. Merzenich, a neuroscience professor at the University of California at San Francisco, aspires to "fix" brains with a series of innovative computer programs that he and his colleagues have designed, most notably his new Brain Fitness Program to help buff up gray matter that has turned flabby with age. The technique relies on a process called plasticity—the brain's innate capacity to reshape itself and even increase its complexity throughout a lifetime, depending on experience. Merzenich's faith in harnessing plasticity could change the way we think about mental health.
