Damage to fronto-parietal networks impairs motor imagery ability after stroke:A voxel-based lesion symptom mapping study.
Background: mental practice with motor imagery has been shown to promote motor skill acquisition in healthy subjects and patients. Although lesions of the common motor imagery and motor execution neural network are expected to impair motor imagery ability, functional equivalence appears to be at lea...
