Multiple cortical areas of the human brain motor system interact coherently in the low
frequency range (< 0.1 Hz), even in the absence of explicit tasks. Following stroke, cortical …

Brain areas within the motor system interact directly or indirectly during motor-imagery and
motor-execution tasks. These interactions and their functionality can change following stroke …

Background and Purpose—Functional MRI (fMRI) studies could provide crucial information
on the neural mechanisms of motor recovery in patients with stroke. Resting-state fMRI is …

Balance of motor network activity between the two brain hemispheres after stroke is crucial
for functional recovery. Several studies have extensively studied the role of the affected …

Most neuroimaging research in stroke rehabilitation mainly focuses on the neural
mechanisms underlying the natural history of post-stroke recovery. However, connectivity …

Previous brain imaging work suggests that stroke alters the effective connectivity (the
influence neural regions exert upon each other) of motor execution networks. The present …

Previous brain imaging studies suggest that stroke alters functional connectivity in motor
execution networks. Moreover, current understanding of brain plasticity has led to new …

Stroke is the most common cause of complex disability in Taiwan. After stroke onset,
persistent physical practice or exercise in the rehabilitation procedure reorganizes neural …

Following stroke, functional networks reorganize and the brain demonstrates widespread
alterations in cortical activity. Implicit motor learning is preserved after stroke. However the …

Motor functions are supported through functional integration across the extended motor
system network. Individuals following stroke often show deficits on motor performance …
