Cognition and major depression after frontal and cerebellar stroke (P7.133)

CONCLUSIONS: Results in individuals with frontal lobe CVA were consistent with previous studies showing associations between cognition and depression in other neurologic disease. Disconnection and disruption in brain regions involving both emotion regulation and cognition may explain these associations. Alternatively, or simultaneously, depression may transiently impair cognitive test performance after frontal lobe stroke. Study Supported by:Disclosure: Dr. Dulay has nothing to disclose.
