The advent of modern neurobiological methods over the last three decades has        provided overwhelming evidence that it is the interaction of genetic factors and the        experience of the individual that guides and supports brain development. Brains do        not develop normally in the absence of critical genetic signaling, and they do not        develop normally in the absence of essential environmental input. The key to        understanding the origins and emergence of both the brain and behavior lies in        understanding how inherited and environmental factors are engaged in the dynamic and        interactive processes that define and direct development of the neurobehavioral        system.Neural Plasticity and Cognitive Development focuses on children who suffered        focal brain insult (typically stroke) in the pre- or perinatal period which provides        a model for exploring the dynamic nature of early brain and cognitive development.          In most, though not all, of the cases considered, the injuries affect substantial        portions of one cerebral hemisphere, resulting in patterns of neural damage that        would compromise cognitive ability in adults. However, longitudinal behavioral        studies of this population of children have revealed only mild cognitive deficits,        and preliminary data from functional brain imaging studies suggest that alternative        patterns of functional organization emerge in the wake of early injury. Neural        Plasticity and Cognitive Development posits that the capacity for adaptation is not        the result of early insult. Rather, it reflects normal developmental processes which        are both dynamic and adaptive operating against a backdrop of serious perturbation        of the neural substrate.
