Abstract #4: Pipeline Verification for the Identification of Noninvasive Neuromodulation Targets for Pediatric Stroke Rehabilitation

Introduction: Ischemic perinatal stroke affects as many as 1 in 2,300 live births and may result in lifelong burden of care. Thus, better rehabilitation techniques are indicated to improve quality of life for individuals and families. Implementing interventions early in life can harness neuroplastic potential to promote recovery. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) have shown promise as noninvasive cortical assessment and neuromodulation techniques for stroke rehabilitation; regaining motor control and function can be facilitated through the induction of plasticity.
