First sentence: Today, we tend to think of the nervous system as a highly plastic structure in which the structure and function of synapses is continually being modified.
Description: In two freestanding but linked volumes, Textbook of Neural Repair and Rehabilitation provides comprehensive coverage of the science and practice of neurological rehabilitation. Volume One, Neural Repair and Plasticity, covers the basic sciences relevant to recovery of function following injury to the nervous system, reviewing plasticity in the normal CNS, mechanisms of neuronal death, axonal regeneration, stem cell biology and current research strategies. Volume Two, Medical Neurorehabilitation, provides authoritative guidelines on the management of disabling symptoms and describes comprehensive rehabilitation approaches for the major categories of disabling neurological disorders.
