Abstract
Abnormally-associated movements are one of the most commonly observable sig ns after capsular infarction. Various studies have related these associated movements to a bilateral activation of motor cortices. This activation has been previously detected by means of Movement-related potentials in severa l pathologies. Our results show NS' and MP components bilaterally distribut ed over the scalp. Thus, this technique could be useful in order to elucida te patterns of functional reorganization after capsular stroke.
