Post-stroke neuronal circuits and mental illnesses.

Post-stroke neuronal circuits and mental illnesses. Int J Physiol Pathophysiol Pharmacol. 2019;11(1):1-11 Authors: Naghavi FS, Koffman EE, Lin B, Du J Abstract Stroke is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. It is also associated with severe mental illnesses, such as depression and anxiety, that hinder the rehabilitation of surviving patients. Thus, a better understanding of how stroke causes mental illnesses is crucial, but little is known about the neurological mechanisms involved. In this review, we summarized the most common mental illnesses developed after stroke, as well as the underlying mechanisms at the neuronal circuit level. PMID: 30911356 [PubMed]
