This animal model of cortical morphologic adaptations and associated behaviors looks at the effects of nonuse and overuse of an affected and unaffected limb. These studies do not examine for reorganizational changes in perilesional area.

This paper and [12,22] describe the changes in representational plasticity in the sensorimotor cortex as monkeys are trained to grasp food pellets with their digits from a narrow trough. A small lesion in the digital representation evokes no change unless retraining is provided.

The study demonstrates for the first time in humans what has been seen in animal models of TBI. Regional and global hyperglycolysis, not ischemia, can reveal tissue undergoing serious pathophysiologic changes. This finding could be a marker for studying the effects of interventions.
