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 …

With increasing rates of survival throughout the past several years, stroke remains one of the
leading causes of adult disability. Following the onset of stroke, spontaneous mechanisms of …

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 is an intrinsic property of the human brain and represents evolution's invention to
enable the nervous system to escape the restrictions of its own genome and thus adapt to …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive tool for the electrical stimulation
of neural tissue, including cerebral cortex, spinal roots, and cranial and peripheral nerves …

Following a stroke, the resulting lesion creates contralateral motor impairment and an
interhemispheric imbalance involving hyperexcitability of the contralesional hemisphere …

Stroke remains a leading cause of adult disability. Some degree of spontaneous behavioral
recovery is usually seen in the weeks after stroke onset. Variability in recovery is substantial …

Recovery of motor function after stroke may occur over weeks or months and is often
attributed to cerebral reorganization. We have investigated the longitudinal relationship …

Background and Purpose—The purpose of this study was to perform a meta-analysis of
studies that investigated the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on …

In neurology, as in all branches of medicine, symptoms of disease and the resulting burden
of illness and disability are not simply the consequence of the injury, inflammation or …
