The Custom-Made Brain : Cerebral Plasticity, Regeneration, and Enhancement.

The Custom-Made Brain : Cerebral Plasticity, Regeneration, and Enhancement.

Two leading neuroscientists introduce the concepts of?cerebral plasticity" and the?regenerating brain," describing what we know now about the processes through which the brain constantly reconstructs itself and the potential benefits this knowledge might have in addressing concerns for neu...
