Using diffusion-tensor imaging we aimed at (i) reconstructing individual probable intrahemispheric connections between M1 and the three secondary areas (PMd, PMv, SMA) and (ii) examining the extent to which the tract-related microstructural integrity correlates with residual motor output. The microstructural integrity of the tract connecting ipsilesional M1 and PMd was significantly associated with motor output (R = 0.78, P = 0.02). The present results support the view that ipsilesional secondary motor areas such as the PMd might support M1 via corticocortical connections to generate motor output after stroke.
