Abstract
Recent studies of focal injury to the cerebral cortex have demonstrated that the remaining, intact tissue undergoes structural and functional changes that could play a substantial role in neurological recovery. New information regarding the molecular and cellular environment in the adjacent, intact tissue has suggested that waves of growth promotion and inhibition modulate the self-repair processes of the brain. Furthermore, recent studies have documented widespread neurophysiological and neuroanatomical changes in regions remote from a focal cortical injury, suggesting that entire cortical networks participate in the recovery process.
