Informationen zum Autor Ebner\! Ford F. Klappentext Synthesizing current information about sensory-motor plasticity! this book provides an up-to-date description of the dynamic processes that occur in somatic sensory-motor cortical circuits or somatic sensory pathways to the cortex due to experience! learning! or damage to the nervous system. The presentation emphasizes changes in the cortex that are linked to changes in movement or behavior and demonstrates the potential for direct brain-based interventions to improve the quality of life for people with sensory-motor disabilities. The book includes studies that document the dynamic changes in system properties that occur with normal experience or in recovery from brain damage. Zusammenfassung Offers a description of the processes that occur in somatic sensory pathways to the cortex due to damage to the nervous system. This work emphasizes changes in the cortex that are linked to changes in behavior, and demonstrates the potential for brain-based interventions to improve the quality of life for those with sensory-motor disabilities.
