Recovery and repair issues after stroke from the scientific perspective

F J Seil. Curr Opin Neurol. 1997 Feb.

Abstract

Animal and human studies have shown that motor and somatosensory cortex are capable of reorganization throughout adult life. Cortical reorganization has been associated with functional recovery in experimental and human stroke. Retraining after experimental cortical infarction has been shown to extend cortical representation of the infarcted area and improve skilled motor performance.
