Stroke induces a plastic state in the brain. This period of enhanced plasticity leads to the
sprouting of new axons, the formation of new synapses and the remapping of sensory-motor …

Ischemic damage to the brain triggers substantial reorganization of spared areas and
pathways, which is associated with limited, spontaneous restoration of function. A better …

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 …

An account of the neurobiology of motor recovery in the arm and hand after stroke by two
experts in the field. Stroke is a leading cause of disability in adults and recovery is often …

Abstract See Ward (doi: 10.1093/brain/awv265) for a scientific commentary on this article.
Recent findings have demonstrated that stroke lesions affect neural communication in the …

Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability. The past decade has seen advances in basic
science research of neural repair in stroke. The brain forms new connections after stroke …

The existence of specific binding sites for benzodiazepines (BZs) in the brain has prompted
the search for endogenous BZ receptor ligands designated by the generic term …

The incidence of neurological disorders is growing in developed countries together with
increased lifespan. Nowadays, there are still no effective treatments for neurodegenerative …

A deeper understanding of post-stroke plasticity is critical to devise more effective
pharmacological and rehabilitative treatments. The GABAergic system is one of the key …

Recent studies using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI)
demonstrated that changes in functional connectivity (FC) after stroke correlate with …
