Structural Plasticity in Adulthood with Motor Learning and Stroke Rehabilitation

Since your doctor doesn't follow stroke research at all, the July 8, 2018 release date means nothing. Why should your doctor follow research? S/he is paid regardless of how well you recover.

Abstract

The development of advanced noninvasive techniques to image the human brain has enabled the demonstration of structural plasticity during adulthood in response to motor learning. Understanding the basic mechanisms of structural plasticity in the context of motor learning is essential to improve motor rehabilitation in stroke patients. Here, we review and discuss the emerging evidence for motor-learning-related structural plasticity and the implications for stroke rehabilitation. In the clinical context, a few studies have started to assess the effects of rehabilitation on structural measures to understand recovery poststroke and additionally to predict intervention outcomes.(Who fucking cares about prediction? We want results you blithering idiots.) Structural imaging will likely have a role in the future in providing measures that inform patient stratification for optimal outcomes. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Neuroscience Volume 41 is July 8, 2018. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.
