Neuropsychological and neurobehavioral outcome following childhood arterial ischemic stroke: Attention deficits, emotional dysregulation, and executive dysfunction.

Data also suggest that executive functions are represented in widespread networks in the developing brain and are vulnerable to unilateral injury. PMID: 24028185 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
