The Brain That Changes Itself Novels & Stories

The air inside the car thickened with worry. “You think your brain will transition?” Tears formed in the corners of Jeff’s eyes and held at the brim. “I don’t know. It’s possible.” He thought of the fly from yesterday, his change in taste at breakfast this morning. Pakora’s decaying body flashed before him, and he pictured her in the hedges. He dragged his hand across his lids to wipe away the moisture. “The changes are also behavioral.” “But your face has always been arachnid. Two of your eyes, your mouth—those are human. Who’s to say those won’t remain so along with your brain?”

"This is Athena's brain. I made this blueprint so that I can find any problem that occurs and prevent any unnecessary cause that might happen in the future." He then touches the floating screen near him. "This is Athena's bigger problem where I can't make it disappear." The blueprint then changes its form to a retina structure. "I call it 'gin,' it's her killer instinct. Like an animal, when they feel threaten or frighted, they change to protect themself. So with Athena. She has that kind of intuition." "So..the one.."

She adjusted the lamp closer to the organ and I could clearly see how crisp it was. “This brain was modified also.” Strahovsky. “It was created to process data only. The only working part are the hippocampus and the cerebral cortex. Everything she experienced was being stored up.” “But for what purpose? She is dead,” Kieran said and I could tell that he was getting irritated. “That is the interesting part, I have no idea why.” Strahovsky replied with a smile. “But I am sure that Alistair would never do anything without a reason. There was a purpose but it is known by only him.”

"Change is not just about external circumstances; it's also about the internal shifts that happen within us. It's about continuously evolving and becoming the best versions of ourselves." Alex nodded, his eyes reflecting a sense of purpose. "Change allows us to break free from the constraints of our past and rewrite our stories," he said. "It gives us the opportunity to redefine our goals, to pursue what truly matters to us. Letting go of what no longer serves us opens doors to new possibilities."

“He’s still hot. Even if he’s a—” I shot him a look. He stopped. “Right. Sorry. Not helping.” We sat in silence for a bit. I tried focusing on the lecture, but it was like trying to read through fog. My brain refused to hold onto anything. Daniel kept talking. “The brain capacity to store language and information evolves because people evolve. What meant comfort once may not mean it anymore. What used to be home might become unfamiliar.” My heart twisted. I wondered if that was a random example or a dig. A reminder.

The familiar geography of a werewolf brain had been grotesquely altered. A normal werewolf brain was a marvel of evolution—perfectly balanced between human intelligence and lupine instinct. It possessed neural structures designed for strategic thinking, heightened sensory processing, and combat efficiency that exceeded both humans and natural wolves. Emma had spent years mapping these unique features, understanding the delicate interplay between the wolf's instinct-driven responses and the human capacity for higher reasoning. What lay before her now was a perversion of that natural wonder. The cerebral cortex—the seat of intelligence, memory, and self-awareness—showed signs of severe degrada

“She isn’t wrong. The brain works in funny ways. She also didn’t have Nyx to help her find her way.” I look over to him as he continues trying to decide on a radio station. "Will you choose a damn channel!" "There are situations.” He mutters with a scowl. "In Neahs case, everyone around her followed the same pattern. In Moonshine, no one was allowed to shift around her, so she never saw what they looked like. She was fed bullshit on a day to day basis. If your mind doesn’t know any better, it becomes your truth whether it’s a lie or not. Your brain has the ability to alter your memories. It's like raising a child to believe certain things. If she had known the truth, her life could be very d

Sophie coughed and threw up all the remaining sour fluid on her stomach again and again as she massaged her chest really slowly and hoped it would ease as much as she inhaled the fresh and frigid smell of the farmland outdoor air. While she could tell the cough was in the throat or on her upper chest, she felt more convinced that she would get reasonably better while scrunching her face and wiping her mouth with her trembling hand. "What on earth happened, where the hell are we?" "That is a cell, generating your atoms inside out... or whatever those scientists often called it." Sage smirked as he shifted into his human form. Greg shifted as well and raised his brows. He rolled his eyes at Sa

Nothing. Masking fear was a survival essential where she came from. She was so used to it that she became an expert. So much so that she doesn't feel fear as others do. She processed it differently, routing it through her prefrontal cortex instead of letting the more primitive brain do the choice-making. Some things she was born with, others were just epigenetic alterations or adjustments, she guessed. So she couldn't be damaged by fear. It could cause harm to her brain and body the same as others. The difference was that it shut them down; it made her more alert, adept, and creative in problem-solving. So the issue was closed. That kiss was long forgotten. She wished.

It was not something a normal adult would experience! Apparently, there was still more to his physical changes. His brain had started to secrete hormones that could help strengthen his constitution, which allowed him to feel like he was bursting with energy every day. When one tallied every change that had ever happened to him, one might even suspect this was some sort of large-scale genetic mutation at work.
