| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It has been well known that the neural network is reorganized after cerebral infarct to compensate the lost function. However, the mechanism underlying the neural network reorganization is not known. In previous study, we found that the rehabilitation therapy causes the secondary motor cortex forelimb area expansion after cerebral infarct in primary motor cortex forelimb area in rat. Anatomical analysis revealed that the rehabilitation therapy enhanced axon growth in spinal cord, suggesting rehabilitation therapy induces motor map reorganization by promoting axon remodeling in spinal cord.
