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 …

Plasticity after stroke has traditionally been studied by observing changes only in the spatial
distribution and laterality of focal brain activation during affected limb movement. However …

Recovery from a stroke is a dynamic time-dependent process, in which the central nervous
system reorganises to accommodate for the impact of the injury. The purpose of this paper is …

Stroke causes a sudden disruption of physiological brain function which leads to
impairments of functional brain networks involved in voluntary movements. In some cases …

Stroke patients vary considerably in terms of outcomes: some patients present
'natural'recovery proportional to their initial impairment (fitters), while others do not (non …

Abstract Systems-based approaches to neuroscience, using network analysis and the
human connectome, have been adopted by many researchers by virtue of recent progress in …

The motor function is controlled by the motor system that comprises a series of cortical and
subcortical areas interacting via anatomical connections. The motor function will be …

Changes in brain structure occur in remote regions following focal damage such as stroke.
Such changes could disrupt processing of information across widely distributed brain …

After focal damage, cerebral networks reorganise their structural and functional anatomy to
compensate for both the lesion itself and remote effects. Novel developments in the analysis …
