Sentence examples for reorganization of function from inspiring English sources

Functional imaging studies have demonstrated reorganization of function in the presence of other neurological disease, including stroke (Warburton et al., 1999; Blasi et al., 2002; Johansen-Berg et al., 2002), MS (Filippi and Rocca, 2004), and peripheral motor denervation (Reddy et al., 2002).

Functional imaging studies have demonstrated how reorganization of function occurs in response to brain injuries but recruitment of contralateral structures does not necessarily effectively maintain performance (Ward et al., 2003).

Brain lesions are known to elicit reorganization of function in representational cortex.
