This review is from: Nerve Injury and Repair: Regeneration, Reconstruction, and Cortical Remodeling, 2e (Hardcover)

I read this book in a few days. It is a soft style of writing with a very good review of recent literature. Those chapters focusing brain plasticity are amazing. This book is excellent to all who are involved with treatment of nerve injuries.
