Changing brains : applying brain plasticity to advance and recover human ability /
This volume focuses on the applying brain plasticity to advance and recover human ability. It discusses brain plasticity in the young, adults and old brains with follow on discussions regarding the type of neuroscience-based training that is on offer in impaired child populations as well as discussi...
