The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Adult neurogenesis in brain repair: cellular plasticity vs. cellular replacement (2014, background): “Indeed, despite the permanent structural damage and cellular loss, functional recovery is observed to a certain extent following brain damage (Chollet et al., 1991; Cao et al., 1998).”
Neuronal Circuit Remodeling in the Contralateral Cortical Hemisphere during Functional Recovery from Cerebral Infarction (2009, background): “There is also clinical evidence showing that the postischemic reorganization occurring in somatosensory system of the contralesional (intact) hemisphere plays an important role for compensation for impaired functions (Chollet et al., 1991; Cao et al., 1998).”
Neural correlates of outcome after stroke: a cross-sectional fMRI study (2003, result): “Task-related activations in patients A wide range of motor-related regions were activated during the task in all patients, as has been seen in other studies (Chollet et al., 1991; Weiller et al., 1992, 1993; Cramer et al., 1997; Cao et al., 1998; Seitz et al., 1998).”
Correlation between motor improvements and altered fMRI activity after rehabilitative therapy. (2002, background): “Most studies have shown that increased activity in the undamaged hemisphere is associated with movement of a recovered limb (Chollet et al., 1991; Weiller et al., 1992; Caramia et al., 1996; Cramer et al., 1997; Honda et al., 1997; Cao et al., 1998).”
