Researchers link post-right stroke delirium and spatial neglect to common brain mechanism

(Kessler Foundation) Stroke researchers at Kessler Foundation have proposed a theory for the high incidence of delirium and spatial neglect after right-brain stroke. Their findings are detailed in " Disruption of the ascending arousal system and cortical attention network in post-stroke delirium and spatial neglect " , published Sept. 27, 2017 by Neuroscience& Biobehavioral Reviews. Authors are Olga Boukrina, PhD, research scientist,& A.M. Barrett, MD, director of Stroke Rehabilitation Research at Kessler Foundation.
