Motor cortical reorganization and clinical outcomes after stroke: a longitudinal TMS/EEG evaluation

Introduction: Since early days after stroke, the brain undergoes a complex reorganization to allow compensatory mechanisms that promote functional recovery. Characterizing specific neurophysiological markers of motor recovery after stroke could improve clinical decision making. Our study aimed to track the time-course of motor cortical reorganization in a stroke patients group, and to individuate the neurophysiological markers associated to clinical outcome.
