Master Brain Plasticity and Behavior: Translational Insights into Neural Flexibility and Resilience

Dive into this comprehensive volume exploring how brain plasticity shapes learning, memory, behavior, and recovery across the lifespan. Integrating developmental, cellular, cognitive, and clinical perspectives, the text offers a translational roadmap from fundamental mechanisms to therapeutic applications.

Key Features:
Foundations of Plasticity Across Development: Covers synaptic strengthening, dendritic remodeling, critical period dynamics, and neurogenesis—from early childhood to aging.
Behavioral and Cognitive Correlates: Links plasticity mechanisms to learning, reward processing, decision-making, social behavior, and executive function.
Mechanistic to Clinical Transition: Explores translation-focused chapters on rehabilitation after stroke, neurodegenerative disorders, mood disorders, and sensory impairment recovery.
Advanced Techniques and Biomarkers: Features modern tools like in vivo imaging, optogenetics, connectomics, and electrophysiology to monitor and manipulate plastic changes.
Modulation through Environment and Lifestyle: Examines neuroplastic effects of physical exercise, enriched environments, cognitive training, and pharmacological enhancers.
Integrative and Multidisciplinary Perspectives: Contributions from developmental neuroscientists, cognitive psychologists, clinicians, and computational modelers unify mechanistic insight with practical application.

Ideal for neuroscientists, cognitive researchers, clinical therapists, rehabilitation specialists, and translational investigators, this volume offers the scientific depth and applied insight needed to understand and harness neural flexibility. Whether you're designing interventions or interpreting behavioral change, this book equips you to drive resilience and recovery using the latest plasticity science.
