abstract = {Stroke patients suffering from hemiparesis may show
substantial recovery in the first months poststroke due to
neural reorganization. While reorganization driving
improvement of upper hand motor function has been frequently
investigated, much less is known about the changes
underlying recovery of lower limb function. We, therefore,
investigated neural network dynamics giving rise to
movements of both the hands and feet in 12 well-recovered
left-hemispheric chronic stroke patients and 12 healthy
participants using a functional magnetic resonance imaging
sparse sampling design and dynamic causal modeling (DCM). We
found that the level of neural activity underlying movements
of the affected right hand and foot positively correlated
with residual motor impairment, in both ipsilesional and
contralesional premotor as well as left primary motor (M1)
regions. Furthermore, M1 representations of the affected
limb showed significantly stronger increase in BOLD activity
compared to healthy controls and compared to the respective
other limb. DCM revealed reduced endogenous connectivity of
M1 of both limbs in patients compared to controls. However,
when testing for the specific effect of movement on
interregional connectivity, interhemispheric inhibition of
the contralesional M1 during movements of the affected hand
was not detected in patients whereas no differences in
condition-dependent connectivity were found for foot
movements compared to controls. In contrast, both groups
featured positive interhemispheric M1 coupling, that is,
facilitation of neural activity, mediating movements of the
affected foot. These exploratory findings help to explain
why functional recovery of the upper and lower limbs often
develops differently after stroke, supporting limb-specific
rehabilitative strategies.Keywords: dynamic causal modeling;
