Abstract:Introduction. Recent studies have shown that, following brain injury, sleep-like cortical dynamics intrude into wakefulness, potentially contributing to brain network disruption and behavioral deficits. Aim. We employ TMS in combination with EEG to detect these dynamics and assess their impact on brain networks and clinical evolution in awake stroke patients. Methods. Twelve patients with subacute unilateral ischemic cortical stroke underwent a longitudinal study with two assessments (t0 and t1), including cli… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
