This study tracks changes in brain functional connectivity networks over 12 months post-stroke using resting-state fMRI in 17 patients and 13 controls, revealing distinct patterns in modularity, hemispheric symmetry, and homotopic connectivity.

The paper identifies neural signatures of orthographic processing in braille reading by comparing real and pseudowords using fMRI, showing distinct roles for posterior parietal cortices and somatosensory cortex.
