Scientists map the healing brain after stroke

NCT ID NCT02664636

Summary

This small, completed study aimed to understand how the brain reorganizes itself in the first two months after a stroke. Researchers used a special light-based brain scanner (fNIRS) on 10 recent stroke patients to measure brain activity while they performed hand and arm tasks. The goal was to link these brain activity patterns to the patients' physical recovery, hoping to build better models of the healing process.
