Stroke induces a plastic state in the brain. This period of enhanced plasticity leads to the
sprouting of new axons, the formation of new synapses and the remapping of sensory-motor …

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 …

Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) are used in stroke rehabilitation to translate brain signals
into intended movements of the paralyzed limb. However, the efficacy and mechanisms of …

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 …

Maintaining attention for more than a few seconds is essential for mastering everyday life.
Yet, our ability to stay focused on a particular task is limited, resulting in well-known …

Objective To systematically review and examine the current literature regarding the effects of
virtual reality (VR)–based rehabilitation on neural plasticity changes in survivors of stroke …

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 …

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 …
