In the healthy brain, activation of the motor cortex determines inhibition of the contralateral homologous region through the phenomenon of interhemispheric inhibition. Such motor intherhemispheric balance is altered in unilateral brain lesions such as stroke. The aim of this study was to explore whether the EEG-derived sensorimotor interhemispheric connectivity (IHC) at rest could vary in relation to the corticospinal tract integrity and excitability in subacute stroke patients.

Abstract
In the healthy brain, activation of the motor cortex determines inhibition of the contralateral homologous region through the phenomenon of interhemispheric inhibition. Such motor intherhemispheric balance is altered in unilateral brain lesions such as stroke. The aim of this study was to explore whether the EEG-derived sensorimotor interhemispheric connectivity (IHC) at rest could vary in relation to the corticospinal tract integrity and excitability in subacute stroke patients.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
