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 …

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 …

Cognitive impairment after stroke is common and can cause disability with major impacts on
quality of life and independence. There are also indirect effects of cognitive impairment on …

Recovery from aphasia is thought to depend on neural plasticity, that is, the functional
reorganization of surviving brain regions such that they take on new or expanded roles in …

Characterized by high morbidity, mortality, and disability, stroke usually causes symptoms of
cerebral hypoxia due to a sudden blockage or rupture of brain vessels, and it seriously …

Previous studies have demonstrated that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can
be proficiently used to modulate attentional and cognitive functions. For instance, in the …

Background Intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) is known to improve cognitive
impairment caused by Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, but studies are lacking …

This fMRI study investigated the development of language lateralization in left-and
