The Immune Response to Stroke
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Some patients develop cognitive decline after a stroke, but we don't always understand the mechanisms. It has been proposed that a proportion of the patients develop an autoimmune immune response, and that this could potentially explain the cognitive decline in some of the patients. The current study aims to investigate this hypothesis in a subgroup of patients with stroke.
