A. Rodent studies examining cortical correlates of recovery. MEAs were implanted in premotor cortex and a RTG task was used. i) Single neuron, population, and LFO neural features during a single trial of an intact animal executing a RTG movement. ii) Spike-phase coherence between neural population activity and field potential activity. iii) Change in LFO power and its relationship to behavioral recovery. (iv) Single trial neural pattern consistency (measured with a “template match” analysis) is predictive of recovery. In late, each single trial closely resembles the template; in early, there is marked variability from trial-to-trial.
B. A single stroke patient’s task-related LFO power measured with ECoG in comparison to two non-stroke subjects’ ECoG. There is reduced LFO power for movement in the stroke subject at all task timepoints. CS=central sulcus.
C. EEG based study in 32 subjects measured task-LFO strength during recovery. (i) 3 time points of measurement of LFOs (ii) increased grip-LFO power with time that correlated with recovery.
