Psychology Press - Brain Plasticity and Behavior Book

Explore the complex connection between brain changes and behavioral recovery with Brain Plasticity and Behavior from the Distinguished Lecture Series. While many texts focus on brain plasticity in isolation, this volume provides a rare and deep look at how these physical changes directly influence behavior. This book is a unique resource that examines the relationship between recovery from brain damage and the underlying brain changes that support that process. By including studies from both humans and laboratory species, such as rats, it offers a broad perspective on how biological shifts impact actions and responses. Readers will find evidence of a consistent correlation between specific brain changes and behavioral recovery. The text also examines how various factors, including sex and experience, influence these processes. This makes it a valuable addition for those studying neuroplasticity, psychology, or medical healthcare practices.
