Ischemic damage to the brain triggers substantial reorganization of spared areas and
pathways, which is associated with limited, spontaneous restoration of function. A better …

Background Stroke-related disability is a major problem at individual and socio-economic
levels. Neuromotor rehabilitation has a key role for its dual action on affected body segment …

A deeper understanding of post-stroke plasticity is critical to devise more effective
pharmacological and rehabilitative treatments. The GABAergic system is one of the key …

Focal cortical stroke often leads to persistent motor deficits, prompting the need for more
effective interventions. The efficacy of rehabilitation can be increased by 'plasticity …

Introduction Although rare, central post-stroke pain remains one of the most refractory forms
of neuropathic pain. It has been reported that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation …

Brain lesions caused by cerebral ischemia or hemorrhage lead to a local breakdown of
energy homeostasis followed by irreversible cell death and long-term impairment …

Planning and execution of voluntary movement depend on the contribution of distinct
classes of neurons in primary motor and premotor areas. However, timing and pattern of …

Rodent models are decisive for translational research in healthy and pathological conditions
of motor function thanks to specific similarities with humans. Here, we present an upgraded …

Targeting interhemispheric inhibition using brain stimulation has shown potential for
enhancing stroke recovery. Following stroke, increased inhibition originating from the …

Stroke continues to be the main cause of motor disability worldwide. While rehabilitation has
been promised to improve recovery after stroke, efficacy in clinical trials has been mixed. We …
