After a stroke, there is an increased risk of suffering a second one. Until now, it was unclear whether the brain is able to recover after a second attack, and whether the activation of the right hemisphere areas is supportive for the regeneration at all. Scientists at MPI CBS now found an answer by using virtual lesions.
