Psychiatric and neurological disorders have historically provided key insights into the
structure-function relationships that subserve human social cognition and behavior …

Longitudinal studies show that almost all stroke patients experience at least some
predictable degree of functional recovery in the first six months post stroke. However, the …

Emerging evidence indicates impairments in somatosensory function may be a major
contributor to motor dysfunction associated with neurologic injury or disorders. However, the …

Background—The precise mechanisms of and biological basis for motor recovery after
stroke in adults are still largely unknown. Reorganization of the motor system after stroke as …

Systems and methods for enhancing or affecting neural stimulation efficiency and/or efficacy
are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system and/or method may apply electromag netic …

ContextReorganization in central motor networks occurs during early recovery from
hemiparetic stroke. In chronic stroke survivors, specific rehabilitation therapy can improve …

The concept of plasticity describes the mechanisms that rearrange cerebral organization
following a brain injury. During the last century, plasticity has been mainly investigated in …

Based upon neurophysiologic, neuroanatomic, and neuroimaging studies conducted over
the past two decades, the cerebral cortex can now be viewed as functionally and structurally …

Motor rehabilitation therapy is commonly employed after strokes, but outcomes are variable
and there is little specific information about the changes in brain activity that are associated …

Background and Purpose—The goal of this study was to characterize cortical reorganization
after stroke and its relation with the site of the stroke-induced lesion and degree of motor …
