Stroke recovery. Lessons from functional MR imaging and other methods of human brain mapping.
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.
