Noradrenergic enhancement improves motor network connectivity in stroke patients

Both animal and human data suggest that noradrenergic stimulation may enhance motor performance after brain damage. We conducted a placebo‐controlled, double‐blind and crossover design study to investigate the effects of noradrenergic stimulation on the cortical motor system in hemiparetic stroke patients.
