Neural Plasticity: The Effects of Environment on the Development of the Cerebral

Description: Neural Plasticity by Peter R. Huttenlocher Neural plasticity--the brains ability to change in response to normal developmental processes, experience, and injury--is a critically important phenomenon for both neuroscience and psychology. This book is a unique contribution to research and to the literature on clinical neuroscience. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Neural plasticity--the brains ability to change in response to normal developmental processes, experience, and injury--is a critically important phenomenon for both neuroscience and psychology. Increasing evidence about the extent of plasticity--long past the supposedly critical first three years--has recently emerged. Neural Plasticity offers the first succinct and lucid integration of this research and its implications. Pointing out the negative and the positive consequences of plasticity, Peter Huttenlocher describes plasticity in children and adults (in normal aging and in response to trauma), in sensory systems, the motor cortex, higher cortical functions, and language development, proceeding system by system, and paying particular attention to the cerebral cortex. One of the books strengths is its range of references, not only to studies on human subjects but to the experimental study of animal models as well. This book will be a unique contribution to research and to the literature on clinical neuroscience. Author Biography Peter R. Huttenlocher was Professor Emeritus and former Chief of Pediatric Neurology at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. Table of Contents Acknowledgments Introduction 1.
