Neuroplasticity in Learning & Rehabilitation

Gerry Leisman Joav Merrick, 2016

Overview

While the human brain exhibits functional localization, the understanding of neurological recovery is complex. This work moves beyond the simple model of localized damage causing specific deficits. It addresses the capacity for plasticity, regeneration, and spontaneous recovery, crucial for effective clinical rehabilitation. The book emphasizes the need to understand not just how the nervous system functions, but how it recovers, how to evaluate this recovery, and how to make informed decisions about rehabilitation methodologies.
