Alteration in brain functional connectivity in patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment during memory task: A fNIRS study

Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) refers to a spectrum of cognitive deterioration following stroke, ranging from mild cognitive impairment to dementia. Cortical plastic alterations associated with post-stroke cognitive impairment are not well documented. It is universally acknowledged as a prevalent and severe clinical syndrome that has an adverse influence on the prognosis of stroke patients [1]. Although PSCI is an umbrella term for a variety of pathological conditions, memory, and cognition impairments are the most troubling for stroke survivors and their carers [2].
