A Comprehensive Review on the Role of Resting-State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Predicting Post-Stroke Motor and Sensory Outcomes.

ABSTRACT: Stroke is a major leading cause of chronic disability, often affecting patients' motor and sensory functions. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is the most commonly used method of functional neuroimaging, and it allows for the non-invasive study of brain activity. The time-dependent coactivation of different brain regions at rest is described as resting-state activation. As a non-invasive task-independent functional neuroimaging approach, resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) may provide therapeutically useful information on both the focal vascular lesion and the connectivity-based reorganization and subsequent functional recovery in stroke patients. Considering the role of a prompt and accurate prognosis in stroke survivors along with the potential of rs-fMRI in identifying patterns of
