Structure-function coupling reveals hemisphere-specific network reorganization after stroke

MRI is an excellent tool for monitoring functional and structural network reorganization after brain injury and may provide biomarkers for treatment stratification and novel neuromodulatory interventions. In ischemic stroke, functional network changes, particularly within the contralesional hemisphere, and structural i...

Sequence-Specific Reduction of Interlimb Accuracy Asymmetry Reveals Preserved Motor Learning Dynamics in Chronic Stroke: Insights from Lesion-Aware fMRI

Background People with chronic stroke retain the capacity to learn new motor skills, yet how preserved motor learning is expressed during practice remains incompletely understood. Sequence learning provides a useful model for examining these within-session learning dynamics and their neural basis after stroke. Objectiv...

The influence of contralesional brain age gradients on chronic stroke aphasia severity and treatment response.

The adult brain follows normative aging trajectories, yet stroke abruptly disrupts this process. Beyond the focal lesion, undamaged regions can deviate from expected aging due to diaschisis or pre-existing vulnerabilities, reflecting tissue health that may constrain recovery. Chronic post-stroke aphasia, a persistent l...

Network flexibility facilitates treatment-induced recovery in post-stroke aphasia

Abstract Predicting the recovery of post-stroke aphasia, particularly in the chronic phase, poses significant challenges. While many studies have focused on static resting state functional connectivity measures as biomarkers for language recovery, there is a significant lack of studies investigating dynamic functional...

Connectivity changes underlying recovery from pure alexia: a Korean single-case study.

Pure alexia (PA) is an isolated reading impairment following brain damage, yet the mechanisms underlying reading recovery remain unclear. We present a Korean patient with PA following a posterior cerebral artery infarction who showed severe impairment in Hangul reading despite preserved writing and spoken language, wit...

Neuromodulation for post-stroke aphasia rehabilitation: established cortical stimulation and emerging network-based targets

Post-stroke aphasia is a disabling disorder of language and communication for which speech-language therapy remains the standard of care. Because behavioural treatment yields variable gains and many people retain chronic communication limitations, non-invasive neuromodulation has been investigated to increase the respo...
