The book on Processes of Recovery from Neural Trauma contains the
proceedings of an international symposium which was sponsored by
the Weizmann Institute of Science and was held in June 1984 in
Israel. One of the central problems in neurobiology and clinical
neurology are the processes which underlie the ability of the
nervous system to recover from damage. Neurons of the mammalian
nervous system cannot be replaced once the generative embryonic
period has ended. Thus, recovery after trauma is limited by the
degree to which regeneration of damaged neural processes is
possible and by the capac ity of uninjured neurons to form new
synaptic contacts or to use their existing ones more effectively.
The lack of successful axon regeneration in the central nervous
system is the reason for the permanent damage and the very limited
recovery of function seen in victims of traumatic injury. Over the
past few years, research on neural trauma has witnessed significant
progress, resulting from interdis ciplinary research carried out in
an increasing number of laboratories throughout the world.
Accordingly, the book includes reports on the progress made in the
forefront of research in this field. We hope that in addition to
being a source of new informa tion, readers of the book will be
stimulated to work and to generate new ideas and research
strategies in this field of research.
