Background and Purpose—Lesioned brains of patients with stroke may change through the
course of recovery; however, little is known about their evolution in the chronic phase. Here …

Background and Purpose: Brain atrophy can be regarded as an end-organ effect of
cumulative cardiovascular risk factors. Accelerated brain atrophy is described following …

ABSTRACT Background and Purpose. The most important effect of cerebral ischemia is
brain infarction. In this magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study, the authors aimed at …

Background Cognitive impairment is common after stroke. So is cortical-and subcortical
atrophy, with studies reporting more atrophy in the ipsilesional hemisphere than the …

Background and Purpose: Functional outcome after stroke may be related to preexisting
brain health. Several imaging markers of brain frailty have been described including brain …

Background: White matter lesions (WML) and brain atrophy are important biomarkers in
stroke and dementia. Stroke lesions, either acute or old, symptomatic or silent, are common …

Rationale Globally, stroke and dementia are leading causes of disability and mortality. More
than one third of stroke patients will develop dementia, but mechanisms are unclear. Aims …

Purpose: Ongoing post-stroke structural degeneration and neuronal loss preceding
neuropsychological symptoms such as cognitive decline and depression are poorly …

Objective To investigate the effect of age on global and regional brain volumes and rates of
atrophy, and to compare directly results based on cross-sectional and longitudinal data …

Background and purpose Strokes caused by lesions to certain brain areas are associated
with poor outcome, which is important both prognostically and to understand the neural …
