Neurological insults, such as congenital blindness, deafness, amputation, and stroke, often
result in surprising and impressive behavioural changes. Cortical reorganisation, which …

Following arm amputation the region that represented the missing hand in primary
somatosensory cortex (S1) becomes deprived of its primary input, resulting in changed …

The second Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation Roundtable “metrics” task force developed
consensus around the recognized need to add kinematic and kinetic movement …

Cortical and subcortical plastic reorganization occurs in the course of motor recovery after
stroke. It is largely accepted that plasticity of ipsilesional motor cortex primarily contributes to …

Interhemispheric interactions in stroke patients are frequently characterized by
abnormalities, in terms of balance and inhibition. Previous results showed an impressive …

Motor planning plays a critical role in producing fast and accurate movement. Yet, the neural
processes that occur in human primary motor and somatosensory cortex during planning …

Background. Upper-limb impairment in patients with chronic stroke appears to be partly
attributable to an upregulated reticulospinal tract (RST). Here, we assessed whether the …

Following a program of resistance training, there are neural and muscular contributions to
the gain in strength. Here, we measured changes in important central motor pathways …

Early evolution of the motor cortex included development of connections to brainstem
reticulospinal neurons; these projections persist in primates. In this study, we examined the …

Background Disambiguation of behavioral restitution from compensation is important to
better understand recovery of upper limb motor control post-stroke and subsequently design …
