Popis: Of the many models that have been offered to explain recovery of particular behaviors after various types of brain injury, all are based on the observation that a significant amount of behavioral recovery occurs in the absence of complete regrowth of brain tissue. Altering biochemical events, such as controlling the massive release of neurotransmitters or reducing edema and lactic acid after brain injury, may provide more specific methods to intercede in the injury process before the damage has progressed to its final, more permanent state.
