Abstract
- Stroke usually causes multiple functional disability. To develop novel rehabilitation strategies, it is quite necessary to improve the understanding of post-stroke brain plasticity. Here, we use functional near-infrared spectroscopy to investigate the prefrontal cortex (PFC) network reorganization in stroke patients with dyskinesias. The PFC hemodynamic signals in the resting state from 16 stroke patients and 10 healthy subjects are collected and analyzed with the graph theory. The PFC networks for both groups show small-world attributes. The stroke patients have larger clustering coefficient and transitivity and smaller global efficiency and small-worldness than healthy subjects. Based on the selected network features, the established support vector machine model classifies the two groups of subjects with an accuracy rate of 88.5%. Besides, the clustering coefficient and local efficiency negatively correlate with patients' motor function. This study suggests that the PFC of stroke patients with dyskinesias undergoes specific network reorganization.
