  • Chapter
Brain Injury and Recovery

  • 65 Accesses

Abstract

The last 20 years have opened the eyes of all neurobiologists to the wonderful news that neural connections in the mammalian nervous system change throughout the life span of the organism and that structural reorganization within the CNS is possible, although limited, after injury.
