The young human brain is highly plastic, thus brain lesions occurring during development interfere with the innate development of the architecture, connectivity, and mapping of functions and trigger modifications in structure, wiring, and representations (for review see Payne & Lomber, 2001). In childhood, the motor cortex and/or the corticospinal tract is a common site of brain damage and the prenatal or immediately perinatal period is the most common time for brain damage to occur. It is now increasingly appreciated that the corticospinal system is capable of substantial reorganization after lesions and such reorganization is likely to underlie the partial recovery of function (Terashima, 1995; Eyre et al., 2001; Eyre et al., 2002).
