TL;DR: Advances in the comprehension of post-stroke network reorganization in patients and animal models are discussed, and the potential use of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques to boost recovery is illustrated.

TL;DR: It is shown that cortical motor areas finely control leg muscle activation during treadmill stereotyped walking, overturning the traditional view that human cortex has a limited role in the control of stereotyped locomotion and suggesting useful hypotheses concerning mechanisms underlying gait under other conditions.

TL;DR: A machine-learning-based algorithm for detecting the user’s motion intention based on electromyographic signals that is promising for the control of upper-limb exoskeletons in real-time applications and also suitable for helping people with severe arm disabilities in performing assisted functional tasks.

TL;DR: A key role for GABAergic inhibition in functional restoration following ischemia in the adult mouse forelimb motor cortex is reported, demonstrating a key role in limiting motor improvements after cortical stroke.

TL;DR: A high prevalence of unclassifiable spondylitis during ulcerative colitis is revealed, and a new approach to the classification of seronegative spondarthritis is suggested.
