Description

Product Description Neural Plasticity Across the Lifespan reviews the recent scientific developments which are transforming our understanding of the human brain. For many years it was thought that modifications to the structural and functional organization of the brain were limited to a short early period of life, "the critical period", and, in adults, to the memory system. Recent research suggests that on the contrary we should see the human brain as a flexible structure, which adapts and modifies in response to learning, sensory experience, age and disease. The book provides an integrated overview of contemporary research on neural plasticity - the process by which the brain can change in structure and function to cope with new experiences and react to the effects of acquired damage or sensory deprivation. It reviews data on plasticity in the developing brain, looking at both typical and atypical development, alongside clinical and observational research on the adult population. It covers a number of key topics, including: different forms of neural plasticity factors affecting neural plasticity (ageing and gender), neural plasticity in language acquisition, memory and bodily self-consciousness mechanisms of repair – plasticity following sensory deprivation and acquired brain damage. This is an accessible overview of an emerging field of research which has fundamental implications for how we perceive our potential to change throughout our lives. It will be essential reading for all students of cognitive development, cognitive neuroscience and lifespan development. Review Professor Gianfranco Denes must be commended for giving us a book which is timely, comprehensive and written in clear and concise style. It will undoubtedly appeal not only to the neuroscience research community, but also to the general public. - François Boller, George Washington University Medical School, USA About the Author Gianfranco Denes is a Neurologist. He has been Director of the Neurological Unit at City Hospital, Venice, Italy, and taught Neuropsychology and Neurolinguistics at the Universities of Padova and Venice. His research field spanned many aspects of Cinical Neuropsychology, from language disorders (aphasia) to impairments of memory and spatial knowledge following acquired brain lesions.
