Prolonged reduction in blood flow leads to stroke, a devastating neurological insult leading cause of adult disability worldwide. One of the early features of stroke is the disruption of neuronal activity that results from the reduction of metabolic supply. Changes in oscillatory brain patterns have been observed in several neurological disorders, including stroke. Evoked neural oscillations in the gamma range have recently shown the ability to restore and maintain intrinsic homeostatic processes in the brain. However, the causal relationship between stimulation and restoration of function is
