Transcranial magnetic stimulation and fNIRS demonstrate motor recovery through cortical rebalancing in stroke, suggesting new rehabilitation strategies.
We showed that low-frequency rTMS promotes motor recovery after stroke by rebalancing cortical excitability and reducing maladaptive connectivity patterns. The integration of TMS and fNIRS provides converging evidence for rTMS-induced cortical plasticity and highlights the potential of these tools for guiding personalized neuromodulation strategies in stroke rehabilitation.
