Neuroplasticity in Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy

Abstract

In healthy subjects, decreasing GABA facilitates motor learning[1]. Recent studies, using PET[2], TMS[3-5], and pharmacological challenges[6], have pointed indirectly to a decrease in neuronal inhibitory activity after stroke. Therefore, we hypothesize that a suppression of GABA levels post stroke might be beneficial to motor recovery during Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT).
