Background. Stroke affects widespread brain regions through interhemispheric connections
by influencing bilateral motor activity. Several noninvasive brain stimulation techniques have …

Recovery of function after a stroke is determined by a balance of activity in the neural
network involving both the affected and the unaffected brain hemispheres. Increased activity …

Electrical brain stimulation, a technique developed many decades ago and then largely
forgotten, has re-emerged recently as a promising tool for experimental neuroscientists …

Objective To systematically review the methodology in particular treatment options and
outcomes and the effect of multiple sessions of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) …

Background The contralesional hemisphere compensation may play a critical role in the
recovery of stroke when there is extensive damage to one hemisphere. There is little …

Stroke is the leading cause of complex adult disability in the world. Recovery from stroke is
often incomplete, which leaves many people dependent on others for their care. The …

Background Several studies have investigated the effect of noninvasive brain stimulation
(NIBS) on upper limb motor function in stroke, but the evidence so far is conflicting. Objective …

Objective: Motor recovery after stroke depends on the integrity of ipsilesional motor circuits
and interactions between the ipsilesional and contralesional hemispheres. In this sham …

Cortical stimulation appears to be a safe and promising intervention for stroke patients. More
studies are needed to assess its long-term benefits on substantial numbers of patients. We …

Purpose: Recent evidence has suggested that a simple technique of noninvasive brain
stimulation–transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)–is associated with a significant …
