Neurophysiological indicators and genetic biomarkers of neuroplasticity improved aphasia severity predictions. Furthermore, BDNF polymorphism interacted with cortical excitability and stimulation-induced neuroplasticity to improve predictions. These findings provide novel insights into mechanisms of variability in stroke recovery and may improve aphasia prognostics.
