Representative Wide-Field acquisition of PV interneurons calcium signals before the ischemic lesion, 2 days post-stroke (acute damage) and 42 days post-stroke after 5 weeks of combined rehabilitation with robotic therapy and 40 Hz TACs and 1 week of follow-up. The bright area in the second image locates the ischemic damage. Credit: Vignozzi L, et al., 2025, PLOS Biology, CC-BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
