In previous section,the theories and promoting factors for functional recovery of the CNSfollowing injury,as well as the development and concept of the brain plasticity theory are intreduced.This section will discuss the anatomy and physiology underlying the brain plasticity theory and thepositive evidence for the theory in both animal and human studies. Internal and external factors which af-fect the brain plasticity will be illustrated as well,based on the Luria’s functional reorgnization theory.

This section will continue to introduce external factors of recovery. Sorne promoting internal factors for functional recovery in later stage will be discussed.

This section will introduce the free radicals damages following brain injury and their pre-vention.In addition,certain factors which contribute to recovery of function from brain injury in the acutestage are discussed

this section continues to introduce internal factors for functional recovery in later stage,as well as external factors of functional recovery.

This section will introduce some of the factors which contribute to recovery of function inearly stage after injuries.internal factors relating to spontaneous recovery.

This section will continue to introduce internal factors of spontaneous recovery. Some exter-nal factors will be discussed.
