Scientists map Brain's reaching circuits after stroke
NCT ID NCT04286516
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses a robotic arm and brain stimulation to learn how different brain areas control reaching movements in people who have had a stroke and those who haven't. Researchers will measure movement paths, speeds, and accuracy. The goal is to understand brain changes after stroke, not to provide treatment.
