Early Functional Connectivity Predicts Recovery from Visual Field Defects after Stroke [PDF]
Background and Purpose We aimed to assess whether early resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) changes measured via functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) could predict recovery from visual field defect (VFD) in acute stroke patients. Methods
