The unsolved role of heightened connectivity from the unaffected hemisphere to paretic arm muscles in chronic stroke.

CONCLUSIONS: Despite enhanced ipsilateral connectivity, arm function and learning was related most strongly to contralateral pathway integrity from the stroke hemisphere. SIGNIFICANCE: Further work is needed to decipher the role of ipsilateral connections. PMID: 30925310 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
