Dynamic reorganization of brain circuit with post-stroke rehabilitation

Health Problems

Nagoya City University (NCU) researchers have revealed an interaction between cortico-brainstem pathways during training-induced recovery in stroke model rats, providing valuable insights for improving rehabilitation methods.
