Although lesion load onto the corticospinal tract is known to affect recovery, less is known about the effect of lesions to cortical sensorimotor areas. Here, we test the hypothesis that lesions of somatosensory cortices interfere with the capacity to recover motor skills after stroke.en600 - Technology::610 - Medicine & healthLesions to primary sensory and posterior parietal cortices impair recovery from hand paresis after strokearticle10.7892/boris.60082236360400030287150003010.1371/journal.pone.0031275
