Abstract:Background: The capacity to reacquire motor skills lost after a stroke is crucial to promote upper-limb motor recovery but the impact of lesion location on motor skill acquisition and the underlying neurophysiological mechanisms remain uncertain. Methods: We used transcranial magnetic stimulation to investigate associations between excitatory and inhibitory cortico-spinal excitability measures and the capacity to acquire a novel motor skill with the most affected hand in 103 individuals with cortical (n=34) or… Show more
