Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the central nervous system's ability to recover from trauma, this book delves into the complexities of brain damage and the factors influencing recovery, particularly the age at which the damage occurs. It highlights the gap between groundbreaking neurobiological research and clinical application, especially regarding brain trauma prognosis. Contributors examine the potential for behavioral compensation and recovery, challenging the prevailing notion that aging severely limits functional recovery after injury.
