Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment-Induced Cortical Reorganization After Stroke in Humans
TL;DR: This is the first demonstration in humans of a long-term alteration in brain function associated with a therapy-induced improvement in the rehabilitation of movement after neurological injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid Plasticity of Human Cortical Movement Representation Induced by Practice
TL;DR: Training rapidly, and transiently, established a change in the cortical network representing the thumb, which encoded kinematic details of the practiced movement, suggesting that this phenomenon may be regarded as a short-term memory for movement and be the first step of skill acquisition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Motor cortex plasticity during constraint-induced movement therapy in stroke patients.

TL;DR: Even in chronic stroke patients, reduced motor cortex representations of an affected body part can be enlarged and increased in level of excitability by an effective rehabilitation procedure, demonstrating a CNS correlate of therapy-induced recovery of function after nervous system damage in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Task-dependent changes of intracortical inhibition
TL;DR: It is concluded that plastic changes of ICI and ICF within the hand representation vary according to the selective requirements of the motor program.
Journal ArticleDOI
Training-induced changes of motor cortex representations in stroke patients.
TL;DR: A single session of physiotherapy produces a use‐dependent enlargement of motor cortex representations paralleled by an improvement of motor function in stroke patients.
