Plasticity and reorganization in the rehabilitation of stroke: The Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) example.
This paper outlines some actual developments in the behavioral treatment and rehabilitation of stroke and other brain injuries in post-acute and chronic conditions of brain lesion. It points to a number of processes that demonstrate the enormous plasticity and reorganization capacity of the human brain following brain lesion. It also highlights a series of behavioral and neuroscientific studies that indicate that successful behavioral rehabilitation is paralleled by plastic changes of brain structures and by cortical reorganization and that the amount of such plastic changes is obviously significantly determining the overa...

Change in movement-related cortical potentials following Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) after stroke.
Patients with chronic stroke were given Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) over an intensive two-week course of treatment. The intervention resulted in a large improvement in use of the more-affected upper extremity in the laboratory and in the real-world environment. High-resolution electroencephalography (EEG) showed that the treatment produced marked changes in cortical activity that correlated with the significant rehabilitative effects. Repetitive unilateral self-paced voluntary movements showed a large increase after treatment in the amplitudes of the late components of the Bereitschaftspotential (BP) both in...

The associations between insomnia and health-related quality of life in rehabilitation units at 1month after stroke
The principal objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between insomnia and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) during the early stage of stroke rehabilitation.

Impedance cardiography in healthy children and children with congenital heart disease: Improving stroke volume assessment
Conclusions After proper adjustment of the Kubicek equation, SV assessed by the use of spot-electrode based ICG is comparable to that obtained from TTE. This approach is highly feasible in a pediatric population and can be used in an ambulatory setting.

Death of a Parent During Childhood and the Risk of Ischemic Heart Disease and Stroke in Adult Men
Conclusions Parental death during childhood was associated with an increased risk of IHD in men. If these associations are confirmed in future studies, the long-term effects of childhood bereavement may warrant attention.

Visual short-term memory and attention: An investigation of familiarity and stroke count in Chinese characters.
Using Chinese characters, we investigated how stroke count and frequency of use influence attention and short-term memory (STM) encoding in Mainland Chinese speakers. To isolate specific components of attention we employed the Theory of Visual Attention (TVA), which allowed estimates of STM capacity, processing speed, and the threshold of visual perception. An analysis of TVA parameters revealed that familiarity affects both the memory capacity and processing speed of objects, whereas the threshold for visual perception remained unaffected. Interestingly, our results also indicate that modulation of attention is driven sol...

Contributions of semantic and phonological working memory to narrative language independent of single word production: Evidence from acute stroke
Cogn Neuropsychol. 2023 Mar 16:1-29. doi: 10.1080/02643294.2023.2186782. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTABSTRACTNeuropsychological case studies have provided evidence that individuals with semantic, but not phonological, working memory (WM) deficits have difficulty producing phrases containing several content words. These findings supported the claim of a phrasal scope of planning at the grammatical formulation stage of production, where semantic WM supports the maintenance of lexical-semantic representations as they are inserted into slots in phrasal constituents. Recent narrative production results for individuals at the ...

The elaboration of motor programs for the automation of letter production.
Abstract We investigated how children learn to write letters. Letter writing evolves from stroke-by-stroke to whole-letter programming. Children of ages 6 to 9 (N=98) wrote letters of varying complexity on a digitizer. At ages 6 and 7 movement duration, dysfluency and trajectory increased with stroke number. This indicates that the motor program they activated mainly coded information on stroke production. Stroke number affected the older children's production much less, suggesting that they programmed stroke chunks or the whole letter. The fact that movement duration and dysfluency decreased from ages 6 to 8, and...
