Abstract: The most prevalent and impactful poststroke consequence is motor impairment.Motor function recovery after stroke is significantly linked to neuronal plasticity and reorganization.MRI techniques have been utilized to study neuroplasticity in vivo.This article aims to review the significant recent achievements in MRI-related motor function recovery after stroke from the perspectives of gray matter morphology,white matter microstructure and functional activitiy,which help to clarify the neural mechanisms underlying the recovery and provide theoretical basis of motor function rehabilitation methods for stroke patients.
