Abstract

Objectives: Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the commonest forms of severe childhood disability. Recent evidence from neuroimaging suggests that CP, in the majority of cases, is due to brain lesions acquired during different periods of early brain development. CP – as a well defined form of early lesional encephalopathy – offers an ideal model to study brain plasticity, e.g. functional consequences of early brain lesions as well as compensatory mechanisms.
