Scientists map Brain's hidden handshake after injury

NCT ID NCT05207878

Summary

This study aims to understand how the brain adapts when people learn to use their non-dominant hand after a nerve injury to their dominant hand. Researchers will compare brain scans and movement tests from right-handed adults with chronic right-hand nerve injuries to healthy adults. The study uses MRI scans and sometimes mild brain stimulation to see which brain areas help people compensate for their injury.
