Zusammenfassung
Objective: Recovery of function is one of the most important issues after a cerebral vascular incident and can be attributed to brain structural reorganization. However, there is an ongoing debate as to whether such reorganization can occur even in the hemisphere contralateral to the lesion site. In order to substantiate further evidence, we analyzed cortical thickness of patients that suffered from unilateral subcortical infarction. Method: Patients diagnosed with left hemisphere middle cerebral artery infarction with lesions within lenticulostriatal arteries territory (n=7) and normal age-matched participants…
