Understanding how brain aging outside stroke injury zones affects aphasia

According to the researchers, this work provides a framework for linking normal aging models with poststroke severity and treatment success, which may be critical for informing more precise brain rehabilitation strategies.

Nicholas Riccardi, University of South Carolina Floyd School of MedicineThis work suggests that recovery potential after stroke depends on the health of the rest of the brain, which is partly shaped by treatable factors like cardiovascular health. Second, because everything here came from a single routine scan and a free online tool, this could realistically reach a variety of clinical or research settings one day."
