  • Graph Theoretical Analysis enables understanding of functional neural networks
  • This tool helped understand reorganization of both hemispheric networks
  • Ipsilesional hemispheric network showed active reorganization for 3 months post-stroke
  • Analysed the brains of 12 patients after stroke
  • Predicting recovery crucial for rehabilitation planning and therapy development
  • Study published in Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience
