	Neural Plasticity: The Effects of Environment on the Development of the Cerebral Cortex (Perspectives in Cognitive Neuroscience)
	By: Peter R. Huttenlocher ISBN: 0674007433 Publisher: Harvard University Press Release Date: 15 July, 2002 Bioscience book rank: 1282468	This book has several major flaws. I will mention 2 in this review. 1) This is a very superficial books. There are very few pages dedicated to explaining the principles of neuroplasticity. If your knowledge to the field is limited, don't expect to learn much here. 2) This book was probably long outdated already when it was published in 2002. The research referred to is mainly old, with many references going back to 1980's and 1970', even 1950's! <br /> It is hard to say what kind of readers this book was inteded for. It is not an introductionary text for students, but its neither something that could offer researchers and scholars anything of interest, with most chapters being only 15-20 pages long. A search here on Amazon shows that there are not many books avaiable about neuroplasticity. It therefore makes it even more frustrating that when occasionally something is published, it should be of such low quality. In NEURAL PLASTICITY, Author, PETER R. HUTTENLOCHER, Professor of Pediatrics and Neurology and a member of the Committee on Neurobiology at the University of Chicago clearly states using figures, graphs, and illustrations the maturation sequences of the developing Cerebral Cortex. The book also explains the "MALLEABILITY" of cortical representations and its negative and positive consequences. It provides clear and concise examples of plasticity in not just the infant brain but the adult brain as well.<br>It is a must read for anyone researching or studying any feild or aspect of "neuroscience"<br>Thank You,<br>Respectfully<br>Dale A.
