Age-Dependent Reorganization of Peri-Infarct "Premotor" Cortex With Task-Specific Rehabilitative Training in Mice

Conclusions. Our results indicate that reorganization of motor cortex may be limited by either aging or greater tissue damage, but the capacity to improve motor function via task-specific rehabilitative training continues to be well maintained in aged animals.
