Abbreviated Description:
Research investigations for motor recovery after stroke include discovering biomarkers, understanding the functional contributions that brain activity plays in normal and abnormal movement, pioneering novel treatments, understanding sensory and motor network integration, using big data imaging and virtual reality for stroke rehabilitation and understanding predictors for treatment effect.  This double symposium will highlight some key elements in stroke recovery.

Learning Objectives:

• Increase awareness of motor recovery after stroke including network interactions
• Discuss big data used in brain imaging
• Increase understanding of brain-behavior relationships and virtual reality in stroke rehabilitation
