Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Neuro-psychological, cognitive and biochemical assessment matched with MR-Imaging in acute and chronic poststroke conditions.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase

    Detailed Description

    The study design relates to affective symptomatology, particularly poststroke depression and posttraumatic stress symptoms as well as to cognitive decline due to stress-related hypercortisolemia in the early phase after stroke. Extended MRI studies including a functional connectivity (fc-MRI) paradigm have been incorporated to study on subacute midbrain neurodegeneration as a possible morphological correlate of functional and clinical findings.
