This study shows that LTP is suppressed in the peri-infarct cortex of stroke rats, but motor recovery occurs despite this, suggesting alternative recovery mechanisms.

This study finds that reinforcement learning is impaired in the sub-acute post-stroke period, while error-based learning remains unaffected, suggesting the need for adjusted rehabilitation strategies.

This study shows that leptomeningeal collaterals regulate reperfusion in ischemic stroke, with poor collaterals leading to hemorrhage and poor outcomes.

The paper evaluates the proportional recovery rule (PRR) as a model for motor impairment recovery post-stroke, finding support for its biological relevance and introducing statistical methods to assess recovery models.

This paper evaluates the Virtual Peg Insertion Test (VPIT) as a technology-aided assessment for functionally relevant sensorimotor impairments in arm and hand of post-stroke individuals, finding strong correlations with clinical scales and robust metrics.

The paper introduces a framework to select and validate digital health metrics for assessing sensorimotor impairments using the Virtual Peg Insertion Test, showing its feasibility and validity in neurological patients.

This study finds no evidence of cortical reorganization after stroke using resting-state fMRI despite behavioral recovery.

The paper analyzes mirror movements in stroke patients to assess contributions from cortical and subcortical pathways to hand recovery.

This study tracks recovery of hand function after stroke, finding that strength and finger control recover differently, with individuation improving beyond a strength threshold due to CST-dependent mechanisms.
