Journal ArticleDOI
Extensive cortical rewiring after brain injury.
Numa Dancause,Scott Barbay,Shawn B. Frost,Erik J. Plautz,Daofen Chen,Elena V. Zoubina,Ann M. Stowe,Randolph J. Nudo +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that M1 injury results in axonal sprouting near the ischemic injury and the establishment of novel connections within a distant target, and support the hypothesis that, after a cortical injury, such as occurs after stroke, cortical areas distant from the injury undergo major neuroanatomical reorganization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Post-infarct cortical plasticity and behavioral recovery using concurrent cortical stimulation and rehabilitative training: a feasibility study in primates.
Erik J. Plautz,Scott Barbay,Shawn B. Frost,Kathleen M. Friel,Numa Dancause,Elena V. Zoubina,Ann M. Stowe,Barbara M. Quaney,Randolph J. Nudo +8 more
TL;DR: Results support the feasibility of using a therapy approach combining peri-infarct electrical stimulation with rehabilitative training to alleviate chronic motor deficits and promote recovery from cortical ischemic injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Corticospinal Neurons in Macaque Ventral Premotor Cortex with Mirror Properties: A Potential Mechanism for Action Suppression?
TL;DR: A novel finding is that many PTNs showed complete suppression of discharge during action observation, while firing actively when the monkey grasped food rewards, and it is speculated that this suppression of PTN discharge might be involved in the inhibition of self-movement duringaction observation.
Book ChapterDOI
Shaping plasticity to enhance recovery after injury
Numa Dancause,Randolph J. Nudo +1 more
TL;DR: Basic principles of plasticity are reviewed and some of the new and exciting approaches that are currently being investigated to shape plasticity following injury in the central nervous system are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of small ischemic lesions in the primary motor cortex on neurophysiological organization in ventral premotor cortex.
Numa Dancause,Scott Barbay,Shawn B. Frost,Elena V. Zoubina,Erik J. Plautz,Jonathan D. Mahnken,Randolph J. Nudo +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that after a lesion in the M1 DFL, the induction of representational plasticity in PMv, as evaluated using intracortical microstimulation, is related more to the size of the lesion than to the disruption of its intrACortical connections.
