This volume reviews the latest experimental and clinical research on brain plasticity. Featuring contributions from more than eighty international experts, the book examines the brain's capacity for functional recovery after various types of injury, including traumatic or ischemic brain injury and demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
