Maladaptive Plasticity for Motor Recovery after Stroke: Mechanisms and Approaches

Many studies in human and animal models have shown that neural plasticity compensates for the loss of motor function after stroke. However, neural plasticity concerning compensatory movement, activated ipsilateral motor projections and competitive interaction after stroke contributes to maladaptive...
