State of intracortical inhibitory interneuron activity in patients with chronic stroke

Conclusions: The state of intracortical inhibitory neuron activity depends on the state of motor function and lesion site even in chronic stroke patients with severe hemiparesis.Significance: The inhibitory system of the AH is involved in functional recovery of the paretic hand even in the chronic stage of stroke.
