abstract = {A focal ischemic lesion is thought to alter neuronal
activity beyond the area of structural damage, thereby
interfering with the whole network architecture. Here, we
used a combination of transcranial magnetic stimulation and
electroencephalography in conjunction with dynamic
connectivity analyses and graph theory to study alterations
and reorganization of cortical connectivity in a cohort of
41 patients longitudinally after stroke. We found a link
between an increase in low-frequency coupling in the delta
band and alterations in neural information processing in the
first weeks after stroke and their relevance for motor
outcome >3 months later. We demonstrated that stroke
enhances slow activity and delta coupling between
frontocentral and parietal regions. In addition, we observed
a loss of the physiological network architecture with a
decrease in small-worldness and modularity in the delta
frequency, implying that a focal ischemic lesion interferes
with both cortical information integration and functional
segregation within the first weeks after stroke. While we
found a link between bifrontal coupling in the alpha
spectrum and the degree of the motor deficit in the early
post-acute phase, the amount of small-worldness disruption
early after stroke indicated the motor outcome in the
follow-up session. In contrast, recovery of motor function
and cortical reorganization after >3 months post-stroke were
paralleled by the normalization of increased low-frequency
coupling and a reinstatement of the complex network
structure featuring a modular and small-world
topology.Keywords: diaschisis; modularity; neuroplasticity;
randomness; small-worldness.},
