Abstract:Studies of cortical function-recovery require a comparison between normal and post-stroke conditions that lead to cortical metaplasticity changes. Focal cortical stroke impairs experience-dependent plasticity (ExDP) in the neighboring somatosensory cortex. A stroke usually evokes periinfarct depolarizations (PiDs)a spreading depression-like waves. Experimentally induced spreading depressions (SDs) affect gene expression and some of these changes persist for at least 30 days. Such changes are not only stroke-sp… Show more
