Color is continuous, yet we group colors into discrete categories associated with color names
(eg, yellow, blue). Color categorization is a case in point in the debate on how language …

Key points The corticoreticulospinal tract (CReST) is a descending motor pathway that
reorganizes after corticospinal tract (CST) injury in animals. In humans, the pattern of CReST …

Background and Objectives Functional outcomes after stroke are strongly related to focal
injury measures. However, the role of global brain health is less clear. In this study, we …

Background Persistent sensorimotor impairments after stroke can negatively impact quality
of life. The hippocampus is vulnerable to poststroke secondary degeneration and is involved …

BACKGROUND: Muscle co-contraction is a strategy of increasing movement accuracy and
stability employed in dealing with force perturbation of movement. It is often seen in …

We investigated object-colour knowledge in RDS, a patient with impaired colour naming after
a left occipito-temporal stroke. RDS’s colour perception, object naming and verbal colour-…

Background Motor adaptation relies on error-based learning for accurate movements in
changing environments. However, the neurophysiological mechanisms driving individual …

… I, Myriam Taga, declare that the work reported in this thesis was carried out in accordance
with the regulations of the University of East London. The work is novel except where …

Objective To determine if the distribution of transcallosal inhibition (TI) acting on proximal and
distal upper extremity muscles is altered in chronic stroke. Methods We examined thirteen …

• Neural predictors of motor learning have been previously investigated using
electroencephalography (EEG)[1].• This study employed simultaneous transcranial magnetic …
