About the Book

In two freestanding volumes, the Textbook of Neural Repair and Rehabilitation provides comprehensive coverage of the science and practice of neurological rehabilitation. Revised throughout, bringing the book fully up to date, this volume, Neural Repair and Plasticity, covers the basic sciences relevant to recovery of function following injury to the nervous system, reviewing anatomical and physiological plasticity in the normal central nervous system, mechanisms of neuronal death, axonal regeneration, stem cell biology, and research strategies targeted at axon regeneration and neuron replacement. New chapters have been added covering pathophysiology and plasticity in cerebral palsy, stem cell therapies for brain disorders and neurotrophin repair of spinal cord damage, along with numerous others. Edited and written by leading international authorities, it is an essential resource for neuroscientists and provides a foundation for the work of clinical rehabilitation professionals.

Table of Contents:

Degenerative changes and reactive growth responses of neurons following denervation and axotomy: historical concepts and their modern embodiments; 2. Learning and memory: basic principles and model systems; 3. Short-term plasticity: facilitation, augmentation, potentiation and depression; 4. Long-term potentiation and long-term depression; 5. Cellular and molecular mechanisms of associative and nonassociative learning; Part II. Functional Plasticity in the Central Nervous System: 6. Plasticity of mature and developing somatosensory systems; 7. Activity-dependent plasticity in the intact spinal cord; 8. Plasticity of cerebral motor functions: implications for repair and rehabilitation; 9. Plasticity in visual connections: retinal ganglion cell axonal development and regeneration; 10. Plasticity in auditory functions; 11. Cross-modal plasticity in the visual system; Part III. Plasticity after Injury to the Central Nervous System: 12. The role of extracellular matrix in plasticity in the spinal cord; 13. Spinal plasticity underlying the recovery of locomotion after injury; 14. Cellular mechanisms of plasticity after brain lesions; 15. Pathophysiology and plasticity in cerebral palsy; 16. Noninvasive brain stimulation in cognitive rehabilitation: guiding plasticity after injury to the central nervous system; 17. From bench to bedside: influence of theories of plasticity on human neurorehabilitation; Part IV. Neural Repair – Basic Cellular and Molecular Processes: 18. Neuronal death and rescue: neurotrophic factors and anti-apoptotic mechanisms; 19. Axon degeneration and rescue; 20. Adult neurogenesis and neural precursors, progenitors, and stem cells in the adult central nervous system; 21. Axon guidance during development and regeneration; 22. Synaptogenesis; Part V.
