Purpose—The aim of this guideline is to provide a synopsis of best clinical practices in the
rehabilitative care of adults recovering from stroke. Methods—Writing group members were …

Stroke has long been regarded as focal disease with circumscribed damage leading to
neurological deficits. However, advances in methods for assessing the human brain and in …

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 …

Background Aphasia is an important stroke sequel that impacts negatively on the HQoL of
stroke patients. Although a number of stroke patients with aphasia will have good functional …

The loss and recovery of language functions are still incompletely understood. This
longitudinal functional MRI study investigated the neural mechanisms underlying language …

Lesion to symptom map** (LSM) is a crucial tool for understanding the causality of brain-
behavior relationships. The analyses are typically performed by applying statistical methods …

Aphasic deficits are usually only interpreted in terms of domain-specific language
processes. However, effective human communication and tests that probe this complex …

Cognitive performance, including performance on working memory (WM) tasks declines with
age. Changes in brain activations are one presumed contributor to WM decline in the …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a safe and noninvasive means of electrically
stimulating the brain by electromagnetic induction. TMS is capable of probing intracortical …
