NIH grant awarded to study motor control pathways in chronic hemiparetic stroke patients using advanced fMRI techniques to inform rehabilitation strategies.
Description
This project aims to generate a novel fMRI dataset capturing neural activity during unilateral hand grasping in participants with post-stroke hemiparesis, focusing on pathways through the corticospinal tract and cortico-reticulospinal tract, and to evaluate differences when grasping with the paretic versus non-paretic hand.
