Noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques can be used to monitor and modulate the
excitability of intracortical neuronal circuits. Long periods of cortical stimulation can produce …

Background Physical therapy (PT) is one of the key disciplines in interdisciplinary stroke
rehabilitation. The aim of this systematic review was to provide an update of the evidence for …

Background/objectives Over the last ten years, an increasing number of authors have used
the theta burst stimulation (TBS) protocol to investigate long-term potentiation (LTP) and …

A group of European experts was commissioned to establish guidelines on the therapeutic
use of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) from evidence published up until …

Acute brain ischemia causes changes in several neural networks and related cortico-
subcortical excitability, both in the affected area and in the apparently spared contralateral …

With increasing rates of survival throughout the past several years, stroke remains one of the
leading causes of adult disability. Following the onset of stroke, spontaneous mechanisms of …

Stroke has long been regarded as focal disease with circumscribed damage leading to
neurological deficits. However, advances in methods for assessing the human brain and in …

Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) are common problems for
patients and caregivers. Although music therapy is considered a non-pharmacological …

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 …

Motor recovery after stroke is related to neural plasticity, which involves developing new
neuronal interconnections, acquiring new functions, and compensating for impairment …
