This text highlights the endogenous regenerative potential of the
central nervous system in neonates and juveniles and discusses
possible ways it might be manipulated for medical purposes. The
first section provides a descriptive summary of the salient steps
of human brain development with a discussion of comparisons with
other mammalian brains. It also provides a historical perspective
on our understanding of ongoing brain development throughout the
lifespan and serve to introduce the concept of brain plasticity
following injury. The second part is devoted to the endogenous
reparative potential of the brain, including its limitations, and
articles focusing on defined pathologies (e.g. anoxia/hypoxia,
epilepsy, traumatic brain injury and stress) in animal models and
in humans pinpoint eventual ways these pathologies might be
manipulated. The third and final focuses on the "dark side" of stem
cells for brain repair or of the manipulation of spontaneous
adaptive events after injury (e.g. genomic instability,
sensitization to cancerous transformation and defective neural
networks).
