Sensorimotor systems are not rigidly wired predetermined networks
but rather highly plastic structures that learn and modify their
entire performance in response to changes in external or internal
conditions. Lesions or distortions of the system's input, which
initially cause a functional disorganization, induce an active
reorganization which often leads to a recovery of function.
Examples of lesion-induced neural plasticity have been known for
some hundred years; however, an awareness of their value as
research tools is relatively new. This current interest is a
consequence of rapid ly changing ideas concerning the nature of CNS
organization. Out of these, concepts are emerging which describe
neural nets as modifiable, highly dynamic, self-organizing
structures. This trend is clearly reflected in this volume, which
contains the proceedings of a symposium held in Bremen in July 1980
as a satellite meeting of the XXVIIIth International Congress of
Physiological Sciences. The first part of this conference was
devoted to some gen eral aspects of plasticity, discussing the
current theories of functional recovery as well as morphological,
neurochemical, physiological, molecular, and ontogenetic aspects.
The second part dealt with lesion induced plasticity in specific
sensorimotor systems of the spinal cord, brain stem, and cerebral
cortex."
