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

Abstract Background/Objectives Interhemispheric inhibition in the brain plays a dynamic role
in the production of voluntary unimanual actions. In stroke, the interhemispheric imbalance …

Prefrontal cortical executive functions comprise a number of cognitive capabilities necessary
for goal directed behavior and adaptation to a changing environment. Executive dysfunction …

Following stroke, the brain undergoes various stages of recovery where the central nervous
system can reorganize neural circuitry (neuroplasticity) both spontaneously and with the aid …

After cerebral ischemia, events like neural plasticity and tissue reorganization intervene in
lesioned and non-lesioned areas of the brain. These processes are tightly related to …

Understanding the process by which the cerebral hemispheres reach their mature functional
organization remains challenging. We propose a theoretical account in which, in the domain …

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the short-and long-term effects as well as
other parameters of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on upper limb motor …

Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) combined with behavioral training is a promising
strategy to augment recovery after stroke. Current research efforts have been mainly …

Brain-computer interface-assisted motor imagery (MI-BCI) or transcranial direct current
stimulation (tDCS) has been used in stroke rehabilitation, though their combinatory effect is …

This study aims to investigate the associative and multivariate relationship between different
sociodemographic and clinical variables with cortical excitability as indexed by transcranial …
