Neuroanatomical Correlates of Cognitive Impairment following Basal Ganglia-Thalamic Post-Hemorrhagic Stroke: Uncovering Network-Wide Alterations in Hemispheric Gray Matter Asymmetry

In conclusion, PhSCI patients exhibited network-wide cortical GM losses, distal to subcortical hemorrhagic lesions, and hemisphere asymmetry changes. These changes appear to predict rTMS-related cognitive improvements, suggesting that even subcortical focal lesions can lead to alterations in distal cortical neuroanatomical architecture. Our preliminary findings provide new insights into the neuroanatomical basis of PhSCI.PMID:37652090 | DOI:10.1016/j.brainres.2023.148559
