Contralateral S1 function is involved in electroacupuncture treatment-mediated recovery after focal unilateral M1 infarction

Acupuncture at acupoints Baihui (GV20) and Dazhui (GV14) has been shown to promote functional recovery after stroke. However, the contribution of the contralateral primary sensory cortex (S1) to recovery remains unclear. In this study, unilateral local ischemic infarction of the primary motor cortex...
