What this Trial Is About
The present study will evaluate the potential of cortico-cerebellar network properties derived from neuroimaging in a group of chronic stroke patients to explain inter-subject variability in responsiveness to transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) targeting the cortico-spinal and cortico-cerebellar network.
