Background Whether thrombectomy alone is equally as effective as intravenous alteplase
plus thrombectomy remains controversial. We aimed to determine whether thrombectomy …

ContextReorganization in central motor networks occurs during early recovery from hemiparetic
stroke. In chronic stroke survivors, specific rehabilitation therapy can improve upper …

In humans, somatosensory stimulation results in increased corticomotoneuronal excitability
to the stimulated body parts. The purpose of this study was to investigate the underlying …

Background and Purpose— Stroke often impairs gait thereby reducing mobility and fitness
and promoting chronic disability. Gait is a complex sensorimotor function controlled by …

The primary motor cortex (M1) of the rat contains dopaminergic terminals. The origin of this
dopaminergic projection and its functional role for movement are obscure. Other areas of …

Successful learning of a motor skill requires repetitive training. Once the skill is mastered, it
can be remembered for a long period of time. The durable memory makes motor skill …

Preliminary evidence indicates that dopamine given by mouth facilitates the learning of
motor skills and improves the recovery of movement after stroke. The mechanism of these …

Background and objective. Ambulatory subjects after stroke may benefit from gait-oriented
cardiovascular fitness training, but trials to date have not primarily assessed older persons. …

By using three‐dimensional magnetic resonance imaging–based volumetry, we studied
atrophy of the caudate nucleus, putamen, brainstem, and cerebellum in patients with idiopathic …

We reviewed the incidence, risk factors, and clinical features of thromboembolic and
ischemic events associated with diagnostic cerebral angiography, endovascular treatment of …
