Noninvasive Brain Stimulation for Motor Recovery after Stroke: Mechanisms and Future Views

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation are noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques that can alter excitability of the human cortex. Considering the interhemispheric competition occurring after stroke, improvement in motor deficits can be achi...
