Mapping plastic brain changes after acute lesions.
The combination of different mapping techniques has yielded new insights in reorganization processes after acute lesions in humans. Recent research focused not only on lesion-induced plasticity, but also on therapy-induced reorganization of the brain. Data from animal experiments has expanded our knowledge of mechanisms that underlie plastic changes.
