How do the physiology and transcallosal effects of the unaffected hemisphere change during inpatient rehabilitation after stroke?

In this issue of Clinical Neurophysiology, Takechi and colleagues publish a paper entitled “Longitudinal changes of motor cortical excitability and transcallosal inhibition after subcortical stroke” that represents a long-overdue examination of changes in interhemispheric interactions during an important period for the recovery of motor function after stroke. It has been suspected that this type of recovery to neuronal damage represents a type of neuroplasticity, potentially with both adaptive and maladaptive processes.
