The mammalian central nervous system is a remarkable structure
which has attracted many new investigators, as evidenced by the
dramatic increase in scientific publications dealing with
neurobiology. Every day basic scientists conduct new and exciting
experiments, resulting in remarkable discoveries des tined to help
mankind. Unfortunately many of these new findings are slow to be
accepted by the clinical world. This is especially true in the area
of brain trauma, where the present prognosis is usually very poor.
We have known for quite some time that the mammalian central
nervous system is capable of compensating for severe damage in many
different ways, and under some circumstances behav ioral
compensation can be observed. However, much is still to be learned
about the various factors and events that lead to functional
recovery and those condi tions that do not. It is this challenge
that originally excited a number of the contributors to this volume
to explore the subject of recovery from brain damage. One factor in
particular that is known to change the prognosis of recovery is the
age of the organism at the time of the damage. This book is an
attempt to explore this important variable. Most of the literature
concerning aging deals with widespread degenerative changes and
paints a grim picture for the aging central nervous system in terms
of recovery of function following trauma."
