Developmental plasticity connects visual cortex to motoneurons after stroke
No full textWe report motor cortical function in the left occipital cortex of a subject who
suffered a left middle cerebral artery stroke early in development. Transcranial
magnetic stimulation of the left occipital cortex evoked contraction of right
hand muscles. Electroencephalogram recorded over the left occipital cortex
showed: 1) coherence with electromyogram from a right hand muscle; 2) a typical
sensorimotor Mu rhythm at rest that was suppressed during contraction of right
hand muscles. This is the first evidence that cortical plasticity extends beyond
reshaping of primary sensory cortical fields to respecification of the cortical
origin of subcortically projecting pathways
Spinal cord plasticity in response to unilateral inhibition of the rat motor cortex during development: changes to gene expression, muscle afferents and the ipsilateral corticospinal projection
