Rehabilitation in chronic spatial neglect strengthens resting state connectivity

ConclusionIntense VR training that improved left sided awareness in chronic stroke patients also increased sporadic interhemispheric functional connectivity within the DAN. Specifically, a region responsible for saccadic eye movement to the left became more integrated with the left posterior parietal cortex. These results highlight a mechanism that should be exploited in the training of patients with chronic visuospatial neglect.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
