Differential effects of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over ipsilesional primary motor cortex in cortical and subcortical middle cerebral artery stroke.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: Facilitation of cortical excitability of the ipsilesional primary motor cortex (M1) may improve dexterity of the affected hand after stroke. The effects of 10 Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over ipsilesional M1 on ... Read more...

Motor cortex plasticity in ischemic perinatal stroke: a transcranial magnetic stimulation and functional MRI study.

30 Aug 2009 To assess motor cortex plasticity after constraint-induced movement therapy in patients with ischemic perinatal stroke, functional MRI and transcranial magnetic stimulation were applied. Seven hemiparetic patients with ischemic perinatal stroke of ... Read more...

Mild to moderate early exercise promotes recovery from cerebral ischemia in rats.

29 Jun 2009 OBJECTIVE: We examined the effects of various exercise intensities on recovery from middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in rats. METHODS: First, we administered a 120-minute left MCAO to male Sprague-Dawley rats and randomly assigned them to one ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Infarction, Middle Cerebral Artery'

Definition: NECROSIS occurring in the MIDDLE CEREBRAL ARTERY distribution system which brings blood to the entire lateral aspects of each CEREBRAL HEMISPHERE. Clinical signs include impaired cognition; APHASIA; AGRAPHIA; weak and numbness in the face and arms, contralaterally or bilaterally depending on the infarction.
