Brain plasticity after stroke remains poorly understood. Patients may improve spontaneously
within the first 3 months and then more slowly in the coming year. The first days, decreased …

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 …

Brain stimulation techniques provide a powerful means to modulate the function of specific
neural structures, and show potential for future applications in the rehabilitation of stroke …

Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability. Understanding how people recover from
stroke and other brain lesions remain one of the biggest conundrums in neuroscience. As a …

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 …

Stroke is an acute neurovascular central nervous system (CNS) injury and one of the main
causes of long-term disability and mortality. Post-stroke rehabilitation as part of recovery is …

Stroke is the major cause of long-term disability worldwide, with impaired manual dexterity
being a common feature. In the past few years, noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) …

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 …

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 …

Introduction/Objectives: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and transcranial
direct current stimulation are two powerful non-invasive neuromodulatory therapies that …
