SSRI and Motor Recovery in Stroke: Reestablishment of Inhibitory Neural Network Tonus

SSRI and Motor Recovery in Stroke: Reestablishment of Inhibitory Neural Network Tonus

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are currently widely used in the field of the neuromodulation not only because of their anti-depressive effects but also due to their ability to promote plasticity and enhance motor recovery in patients with stroke. Recent studies showed that fluoxetin...
