Remodeling the brain: plastic structural brain changes produced by different motor therapies after stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Studies on adult stroke patients have demonstrated functional changes in cortical excitability, metabolic rate, or blood flow after motor therapy, measures that can fluctuate rapidly over time. This study evaluated whether evidence could also be found for structural brain changes during an efficacious rehabilitation program. METHODS Chronic stroke patients were randomly...
متن کاملPriming the motor system enhances the effects of upper limb therapy in chronic stroke.
After stroke, the function of primary motor cortex (M1) between the hemispheres may become unbalanced. Techniques that promote a re-balancing of M1 excitability may prime the brain to be more responsive to rehabilitation therapies and lead to improved functional outcomes. The present study examined the effects of Active-Passive Bilateral Therapy (APBT), a putative movement-based priming strateg...
متن کاملMotor recovery after early brain damage. A case of brain plasticity.
BACKGROUND Motor recovery is remarkable when the brain is damaged early in life. We describe a case of early damage to the right hemisphere with remarkable reorganization and plastic functional changes, studied by computed neuroimaging. CASE DESCRIPTION A 31-year-old man had a left-sided hemiplegia at the age of 12, followed by good motor recovery despite a large right cortical-subcortical le...
متن کاملMotor Imagery-Based Brain Computer Interface: Contribution of TMS to the Understanding of Training-induced Effects on Motor Cortical Excitability*
INTRODUCTION Recent attention has been given to the use of Brain Computer Interface (BCI) technology to -dependent brain plasticity to improve rehabilitation outcome after brain disorders such as stroke [1]. In this prospective, we investigate if and how a BCI training based on motor imagery (MI) paradigm would induce plastic changes at the motor cortical level by means of Transcranial Magnetic...
متن کاملStructural and functional reorganization of propriospinal connections promotes functional recovery after spinal cord injury
Axonal regeneration and fiber regrowth is limited in the adult central nervous system, but research over the last decades has revealed a high intrinsic capacity of brain and spinal cord circuits to adapt and reorganize after smaller injuries or denervation. Short-distance fiber growth and synaptic rewiring was found in cortex, brain stem and spinal cord and could be associated with restoration ...
