We will use state-of-the-art brain imaging methods to test whether specific brain areas which have been chronically starved of adequate blood supply can regenerate, informing debate about limits on brain plasticity. Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are longstanding defects which can cause thinking skills to 'migrate' to other brain regions in childhood without noticeable impact. Surgical correction allows a test of what happens to the previously inactive area: Does the area 'start to think'?

我们将使用最先进的大脑成像方法来测试长期缺乏足够血液供应的特定大脑区域是否可以再生，为关于大脑可塑性限制的辩论提供信息。动静脉畸形（AVM）是一种长期存在的缺陷，它会导致思维技能在儿童时期“迁移”到其他大脑区域，而不会产生明显的影响。手术矫正可以测试以前不活跃的区域发生了什么：该区域是否“开始思考”？
