View source for STROKE-RECOVERY REORGANISATION MECHANISMS

===== [[Summary Article|'''SUMMARY''']] =====
1. Recruitment of the motor networks of the ipsilateral, unaffected parts of the hemisphere<ref>Cramer SC. Functional magnetic resonance imaging in stroke recovery. Phys Med Rehabil Clin N Am 2003;14:S47-55.</ref>
<br/>. Persistent ipsilateral cortical involvement is generally assoc. with larger strokes &amp; poorer recovery.
<br/>
<br/>2. Reorganization in response to training occurs along the cortical rim of the infarction with increased recruitment of secondary cortical areas such as supplementary motor area and pre-motor cortex in the contralateral (to the affected) hemisphere<ref>Cramer SC. Functional magnetic resonance imaging in stroke recovery. Phys Med Rehabil Clin N Am 2003;14:S47-55.</ref>
<br/>.
<br/>
<br/>3. Reorganisation of cortex post stroke is dependent on the lesion site but also on remote brain areas with structural connections with the damaged area of the brain.
