title: Stroke recovery. Lessons from functional MR imaging and other methods of human brain mapping.
abstract: The mechanisms underlying patient recovery after stroke remain incompletely understood. Human brain mapping methods such as functional MR imaging provide insights into stroke recovery mechanisms. After a unilateral brain insult, lasting changes take place in both hemispheres and along the rim of a cortical infarct. Such information may be of value in the design of therapies targeting stroke recovery.
