Compensatory relearning following stroke: cellular and plasticity mechanisms in rodents
G Balbinot, CP Schuch - Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019 - frontiersin.org
von Monakow's theory of diaschisis states the functional 'standstill'of intact brain regions that
are remote from a damaged area, often implied in recovery of function. Accordingly, neural …
