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 …

Following a stroke, the resulting lesion creates contralateral motor impairment and an
interhemispheric imbalance involving hyperexcitability of the contralesional hemisphere …

Objective Patients with chronic stroke have been shown to have failure to release
interhemispheric inhibition (IHI) from the intact to the damaged hemisphere before …

Neural plasticity is a major factor driving cortical reorganization after stroke. We here tested
whether repetitively enhancing motor cortex plasticity by means of intermittent theta-burst …

More than 1.5 million people suffer a stroke in Europe per year and more than 70% of stroke
survivors experience limited functional recovery of their upper limb, resulting in diminished …

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of transcranial direct current
stimulation (tDCS) on motor recovery in adult patients with stroke, taking into account the …

Chronic stroke patients with upper-limb motor disabilities are now beginning to see
treatment options that were not previously available. To date, the two options recently …

Objective The purpose of this article was to investigate the effects of repetitive transcranial
magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on hand function recovery and the plasticity of the cortex in …

Electrical stimulation has been extensively applied in post-stroke motor restoration, but its
treatment mechanisms are not fully understood. Stimulation of neuromotor control system at …

Objective This meta-analysis examined the effectiveness of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic
Stimulation (rTMS) in treating post-stroke aphasia with a goal to identify parameters that are …
