Introduction: The physiopathology of central post-stroke pain (CPSP) is poorly understood,
which may contribute to the limitations of diagnostic and therapeutic advancements. Thus …

Upper limb impairment is common after stroke, with a significant impact on the stroke
survivor's function, social participation and quality of life. Clinical guidelines are needed to …

Background: Somatosensory impairment is common in patients who have had a stroke and
can affect their motor function and activities of daily living (ADL). Therefore, detecting and …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to estimate neuronal activity in the
primary somatosensory cortex of six participants undergoing cutaneous tactile stimulation on …

Recovery after stroke is thought to be mediated by adaptive circuit plasticity, whereby
surviving neurons assume the roles of those that died. However, definitive longitudinal …

ABSTRACT The Guidelines for Stroke Rehabilitation are the result of a joint effort by the
Scientific Department of Neurological Rehabilitation of the Brazilian Academy of Neurology …

A rich literature has documented changes in cortical representations of the body in
somatosensory and motor cortex. Recent clinical studies of brain–machine interfaces …

Somatosensory deficits after stroke are a major health problem, which can impair patients'
health status and quality of life. With the developments in human brain mapping techniques …

Altered somatosensory function is common among stroke survivors, yet is often poorly
characterized. Methods of profiling somatosensation that illustrate the variability in …

Abstract Background Imbalances between Bcl-2 and caspase-3 are significant evidence of
apoptosis, which is considered an influential factor in rapidly occurring neuronal cell death …
