It is a resting-state fMRI( rs-fMRI) study of patients with motor disturbance after acute ischemic stroke. We assessed the functional connectivity (FC) changes of the ipsilesional primary motor cortex (M1) within the brain before and after the repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) by rs-fMRI. The research not only gave theoretical support of the rTMS treatment in stroke patients but also investigated the cerebral functional changes in motor recovery.
