Synaptic plasticity represents one of the possible mechanisms of recovery of functions after brain lesions. Recently we have increased our understanding on the nature of plastic changes in the central synapses. One remarkable phenomenon, axonal sprouting and formation of new synapses, seems to be particularly important for the recovery of functions. Although the phenomenon was first demonstrated in the 1950s (Edds 1953), it has been difficult to demonstrate unequivocally sprouting of central axonal connections. However, recent studies provided convincing evidence that sprouting occurs in central synapses and the newly formed synapses are functionally active (Rais-man 1969; Moore et al. 1971; Steward et al. 1973; Tsukahara et al. 1974; Cotman and Lynch 1976; Lund 1978; Tsukahara 1981).
