Pathological perturbations of the brain are rarely confined to a single locus; instead, they
often spread via axonal pathways to influence other regions. Patterns of such disease …

Stroke is a leading cause of acquired, permanent disability worldwide. Although the
treatment of acute stroke has been improved considerably, the majority of patients to date …

After a century of false hopes, recent studies have placed the concept of diaschisis at the
centre of the understanding of brain function. Originally, the term 'diaschisis' was coined by …

In this article, we argue that motor and cognitive processes are functionally related and most
likely share a similar evolutionary history. This is supported by clinical and neural data …

Stroke instigates a dynamic process of repair and remodelling of remaining neural circuits,
and this process is shaped by behavioural experiences. The onset of motor disability …

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 …

A group of European experts was commissioned to establish guidelines on the therapeutic
use of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) from evidence published up until …

Approximately one-third of patients with stroke exhibit persistent disability after the initial
cerebrovascular episode, with motor impairments accounting for most poststroke disability …

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 …

The role of left and right hemisphere brain regions in language recovery after stroke-induced
aphasia remains controversial. Here, we summarize how neuroimaging studies increase the …
