An edited volume on putting brain plasticity to work in rehabilitation after brain injury: how far damaged regions can recover, how intact regions can take over lost functions, and which rehabilitation approaches have evidence behind them for different cognitive problems, in children and adults.

For clinicians in brain-injury rehabilitation who want the research behind the hope that lost abilities can be restored, not only compensated for.
