ID 127 – Small world characteristics of cortical connectivity in acute stroke

After cerebral ischemia, disruption and subsequent reorganization of functional connections occur both locally and remote to the lesion. Recently, brain complexity has been described using the graph theory, an elegant approach which depicts important properties of complex systems by quantifying topologies of network representations. We tested whether ischemic stroke may determine changes in smallworldness of cortical networks as measured by cortical sources of EEG.
