A mathematical model of receptive field reorganization following stroke

Insufficient blood transport to neurons in the brain due to blocked or ruptured blood vessels (stroke) can lead to damage or death of cells, causing functional impairment. Intact neurons surrounding a stroke-like lesion have been shown to adapt to the damage by expanding their sensory receptive fiel...

description Insufficient blood transport to neurons in the brain due to blocked or ruptured blood vessels (stroke) can lead to damage or death of cells, causing functional impairment. Intact neurons surrounding a stroke-like lesion have been shown to adapt to the damage by expanding their sensory receptive fields in the direction towards the lesion, thereby restoring information processing capacity within the cortex.
