Stroke remains a leading cause of adult disability. Some degree of spontaneous behavioral
recovery is usually seen in the weeks after stroke onset. Variability in recovery is substantial …

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 …

Whole-brain neuroimaging studies have demonstrated regional variations in function within
human cingulate cortex. At the same time, regional variations in cingulate anatomical …

Motor imagery, the 'mental rehearsal of motor acts without overt movements', involves either
a visual representation (visual imagery, VI) or mental simulation of movement, associated …

Background and Purpose—The aim of the present study was to determine if outcome in
terms of upper limb function at 6 months after stroke can be predicted in hospital stroke units …

The substrates that mediate recovery of motor function after stroke are incompletely
understood. Several primate and human studies proposed the involvement of the premotor …

There is now compelling evidence that motor imagery (MI) and actual movement share
common neural substrate. However, the question of how MI inhibits the transmission of …

Most of our current understanding of brain function and dysfunction has its firm base in what
is so elegantly called the 'anatomical substrate', ie the anatomical, histological, and …

The purpose of this study was to quantify the long-term loss of independent finger
movements in humans with lesions relatively restricted to motor cortex or corticospinal tract …

Recovery of motor function after subcortical stroke appears to be related to the integrity of
descending connections from the ipsilesional cortical motor system, a view supported by the …
