There are few books devoted to the topic of brain plasticity and
behavior. Most previous works that cover topics related to brain
plasticity do not include extensive discussions of behavior. The
first to try to address the relationship between recovery from
brain damage and changes in the brain that might support the
recovery, this volume includes studies of humans as well as
laboratory species, particularly rats. The subject matter
identifies a consistent correlation between specific changes in the
brain and behavioral recovery, as well as various factors such as
sex and experience that influence this correlation in consistent
ways. Evolving from a series of lectures given as the McEachran
Lectures at the University of Alberta, this volume originally began
as a summary of the lectures, but has expanded to include more
background literature, allowing the reader to see the author's
biases, assumptions, and hunches in a broader perspective. In
writing this volume, the author had two goals in mind: * to
initiate senior undergraduates or graduate psychology, biology,
neuroscience or other interested students to the issues and
questions regarding the nature of brain plasticity, and * to
provide a monograph in the form of an extended summary of the work
the author and his colleagues have done on brain plasticity and
recovery of function.
