Therapies for motor recovery after stroke or traumatic brain injury are still not satisfactory. To
date the best approach seems to be the intensive physical therapy. However the results are …

Recovery of motor function after stroke occurs largely on the basis of a sustained capacity of
the adult brain for plastic changes. This brain plasticity has been validated by functional …

Stroke is the leading cause of disability among adults. Motor deficit is the most common
impairment after stroke. Especially, deficits in fine motor skills impair numerous activities of …

This manuscript reports the effects of transcranial DC stimulation (tDCS), a technique that
enhances cortical plasticity in healthy humans, on motor function in a patient with chronic …

Stroke is a leading cause of adult motor disability. The number of stroke survivors is
increasing in industrialized countries, and despite available treatments used in …

Stroke is a common disorder that produces a major burden to society, largely through long-
lasting motor disability in survivors. Recent studies have broadened our understanding of …

Noninvasive brain stimulation has developed as a promising tool for cognitive
neuroscientists. Transcranial magnetic (TMS) and direct current (tDCS) stimulation allow …

Noninvasive transcranial stimulation is being increasingly used by clinicians and
neuroscientists to alter deliberately the status of the human brain. Important applications are …

Cognitive deficits are a common consequence of neurologic disease, in particular, of
traumatic brain injury, stroke, and neurodegenerative disorders, and there is evidence that …

Background and Purpose—Mechanisms of skill learning are paramount components for
stroke recovery. Recent noninvasive brain stimulation studies demonstrated that decreasing …
