The most difficult clinical questions in stroke rehabilitation are “What is this patient's potential
for recovery?” and “What is the best rehabilitation strategy for this person, given her/his …

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 …

Behavioural deficits in stroke reflect both structural damage at the site of injury, and
widespread network dysfunction caused by structural, functional, and metabolic …

Mapping of human brain function has revolutionized systems neuroscience. However,
traditional functional neuroimaging by positron emission tomography or functional magnetic …

A long-held view is that stroke causes many distinct neurological syndromes due to damage
of specialized cortical and subcortical centers. However, it is unknown if a syndrome-based …

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 …

Background and Purpose—There are few effective therapies to achieve functional recovery
from motor-related disabilities affecting the upper limb after stroke. This feasibility study …

The brain has an intrinsic capacity to compensate for structural damage through
reorganizing of surviving networks. These processes are fundamental for recovery of …

Stroke is the leading cause of complex adult disability in the world. Recovery from stroke is
often incomplete, which leaves many people dependent on others for their care. The …
