Sci­ence­Blogs’ Neu­rophi­los­o­phy details 6 icon­o­clas­tic dis­cov­er­ies about the brain and gives a brief descrip­tion of the research show­ing the truth behind these false dogmas:

  • The adult human brain is not plastic
  • The adult human brain can­not regenerate
  • Neu­rons are the func­tional ele­ments of the ner­vous system
  • Neu­ro­trans­mit­ters are released from the nerve terminal
  • Neu­rons are binary switches
  • Neu­rons com­mu­ni­cate with each other by prop­a­gat­ing action potentials
