This meeting was organized under the joint auspices of the European Brain and Behaviour Society (EBBS) and the Societe Fran~aise pour 1 'Etude du Comportement Animal (SFECA). The objective of this meeting was to bring together an international group of participants to evaluate and to report on recent research in three broad and overlapping fields within the general theme of the relationships between brain plasticity and learning and memory. These three fields are "developmental plasticity" "adaptive plasticity" and "restorative plas tici ty." Al though the boundaries between these fie Ids are a rna t ter of debate (see Introduction), they have been retained as the major sections of this volume, the arrangement of which roughly parallels that of the meeting. We believe and very much hope that the contents of this volume convey an internal consistency despite the diversity of the material presented. Developmental plasticity constitutes the first part of the book in which are considered the repercussions of early external or intracerebral stimulation and of early learning on brain development. These chapters are based on studies on imprinting phenomena and visuocortical plasticity, followed by work on the modulatory role of noradrenalin in plasticitv in immature animals. The second part of this book, on adaptive plasticity in adult animals, first presents chapters that describe some of the biochemical, morphological and electrophysiological (long-term and short-term potentiation) alterations that accompany or underlie learning and memory processes. These chapters are complemented by work on the selective activation of cerebral stuctures, together with sections on noradrenergic, neuroendocrine and peptidergic factors that modulate learning and memory in adult animals. The section on restorative plasticity presents chapters looking at responses to different kinds of brain dysfunction in young, adult and aged organisms, mostly in animals. This part of the book is completed by several chapters that deal with the "recovery of function" in animals with experimental brain lesions. These final chapters describe factors that play a role in the expression of lesion-induced deficits and ways to reduce such deficits. In addition, most of the poster abstracts, which summarise a considerable amount of further information on brain plasticity, learning and memory, are presented in an appendix. We gratefully acknowledge the following organizations for financial support: Dausse Labs., Merrell Dow Research Inst., Preclinical Research Division of Sandoz Ltd., and the Conseil General du Bas-Rhin, Strasbourg. Facilities and assistance were kindly provided by the Universite Louis Pasteur and by the Mairie de Strasbourg. We are also indebted to our colleagues F. Deluzarche, C. Kelche, C. Pacteau, V. Pallage and G. Toniolo of the Laboratoire de Neurobiologie des Comportements, and M-J. Angst, A. v Boehrer, P. Carrive, B. Fritsch, B. Jardon, J-L. Moreau and G. Rudolf of the Laboratoire de Neurophysiologie for their tremendotls work which contributed to the success of this meeting. We thank Professor P. Karli, acting president of the EBBS, for his assistance and for his welcoming address. Special thanks are also due to Professor J. McGaugh and Dr. S. Sara for their help in organizing the sessions on neuroendocrine and catecholaminergic modulation of learning and memory. Bruno E. Will Pierre Schmitt John C.
