Stroke is one of the leading causes for disability worldwide. Motor function deficits due to
stroke affect the patients' mobility, their limitation in daily life activities, their participation in …

Stroke is a leading cause of acquired, permanent disability worldwide. Although the
treatment of acute stroke has been improved considerably, the majority of patients to date …

Deficits following stroke are classically attributed to focal damage, but recent evidence
suggests a key role of distributed brain network disruption. We measured resting functional …

Noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques can be used to monitor and modulate the
excitability of intracortical neuronal circuits. Long periods of cortical stimulation can produce …

Spasticity and weakness (spastic paresis) are the primary motor impairments after stroke
and impose significant challenges for treatment and patient care. Spasticity emerges and …

Psychiatric and neurological disorders have historically provided key insights into the
structure-function relationships that subserve human social cognition and behavior …

Parkinson's disease is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by
resting tremor, slowness of movements, rigidity, gait disturbance and postural instability …

The past 20 years have represented an important period in the development of principles
underlying neuroplasticity, especially as they apply to recovery from neurological injury. It is …

Neuroplasticity can be defined as the ability of the nervous system to respond to intrinsic or
extrinsic stimuli by reorganizing its structure, function and connections. Major advances in …

Reductions in blood flow to the brain of sufficient duration and extent lead to stroke, which
results in damage to neuronal networks and the impairment of sensation, movement or …
