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 …

Stroke disturbs both the structural and functional integrity of the brain. The understanding of
stroke pathophysiology has improved greatly in the past several decades. However …

Human walking is usually conceived as the cyclic rotation of the limbs. The goal of lower-
limb movements, however, is the forward translation of the body system, which can be …

BACKGROUND: Despite improvements in acute stroke therapies and rehabilitation
strategies, many stroke patients are left with long-term upper limb motor impairment. We …

Interhemispheric interactions in stroke patients are frequently characterized by
abnormalities, in terms of balance and inhibition. Previous results showed an impressive …

Background Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is commonly used to measure the
effects of stroke on corticomotor excitability, intracortical function, and interhemispheric …

Abstract 'Inter‐hemispheric inhibition'is used frequently to describe the action of one
hemisphere in suppressing or impeding processing in its counterpart. It is widely believed …

Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide, with most survivors reporting
dysfunctions of motor, sensation, deglutition, cognition, emotion, and speech, etc. Repetitive …

Objective. To determine the long‐term effects of low‐frequency repetitive transcranial
magnetic stimulation (LF‐rTMS) over the contralesional M1 preceding motor task practice on …

Stroke results in local neural disconnection and brain-wide neuronal network dysfunction
leading to neurological deficits. Beyond the hyper-acute phase of ischaemic stroke, there is …
