    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Rehabilitation Medicine
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Stroke is a primary cause of long-term disability, with many patients experiencing incomplete recovery and dependence in Activities of Daily Living (ADL).
    • Understanding neural plasticity mechanisms post-stroke is crucial for developing effective rehabilitation strategies.
    • Current rehabilitation approaches often lack personalization, potentially limiting functional recovery outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate neural reorganization and plasticity following stroke using electroencephalography (EEG) and Directed Transfer Function (DTF).
    • To correlate changes in brain information flow with motor function recovery, measured by the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA).
    • To identify key brain regions involved in neuro-rehabilitation and explore DTF as a biomarker for neuroplasticity.

    Main Methods:

    • Resting-state EEG data were collected from stroke patients at five time points over three months post-stroke onset.
    • Directed Transfer Function (DTF) analysis was employed to quantify information flow between different brain regions.
    • DTF metrics were correlated with FMA scores to assess the relationship between neural reorganization and motor function recovery.

    Main Results:

    • The occipital region demonstrated a significant correlation (r = 0.45 to 0.47) with FMA scores, indicating its importance in recovery.
    • Information flow dynamics between contra-lesional and ipsi-lesional brain regions showed complementary patterns during the acute and sub-acute phases.
    • An imbalance in information inflow versus outflow within the Affected Region (AR) was observed to normalize by the end of the three-month study period.

    Conclusions:

    • Directed Transfer Function (DTF) shows promise as a biomarker for assessing neuroplasticity after stroke.
    • The occipital, temporal, and motor cortex regions are identified as critical areas for neuro-rehabilitation.
    • Understanding regional brain dynamics during rehabilitation can facilitate the design of tailored interventions for improved patient recovery.
