Biological Limits to Behavioral Recovery Following Injury to the Central Nervous System: Implications for Early Intervention.

Farel, Paul B.; Hooper, Celia R.

Infants and Young Children, v8 n1 p1-7 Jul 1995

This review notes that more behavioral recovery is often seen following damage to the nervous system than should be possible from the limited capability of the nervous system for regeneration and reorganization. The review offers a framework for reconciling the effectiveness of early childhood intervention strategies and the conclusions of neurobiological research. (Author/DB)
