Mirror neurons are a class of neurons, originally discovered in the premotor cortex of
monkeys, that discharge both when individuals perform a given motor act and when they …

Neuronal plasticity allows the central nervous system to learn skills and remember
information, to reorganize neuronal networks in response to environmental stimulation, and …

Stroke is a leading cause of disability, but no pharmacological therapy is currently available
for promoting recovery. The brain region adjacent to stroke damage—the peri-infarct zone …

Although the preceding chapters discuss much of the new knowledge of neurocircuitry of
neuropsychiatric diseases, and an invasive approach to treatment, this chapter describes …

Transcranial direct current stimulation has been gaining increasing interest as a potential
therapeutic treatment in stroke recovery. We performed a systematic review with meta …

Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability. Understanding how people recover from
stroke and other brain lesions remain one of the biggest conundrums in neuroscience. As a …

Background: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a simple and non‐
invasive method of augmenting motor recovery after stroke, probably mediated by restoring …

Objective To investigate the effects of combination cathodal transcranial direct current
stimulation (tDCS) and virtual reality (VR) therapy for upper extremity (UE) training in …

The midbrain lies deep within the brain and has an important role in reward, motivation,
movement and the pathophysiology of various neuropsychiatric disorders such as …

Although evidence suggests that patients with left hemisphere strokes and non-fluent
aphasia who receive 1Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the intact …
