Cerebellum as a possible target for neuromodulation after stroke

We read with great interest the article entitled “Deep brain stimulation for stroke: Current uses and future directions,” a systematic review of the current evidence for using neuromodulation as a rehabilitation tool after stroke [1]. This topic is of significant importance because stroke affects millions of people every year, leaving behind a large social burden in terms of medical costs. The rehabilitation techniques available to date often fail to restore a patient’s previous quality of life.
