Structural and functional MRI correlates of post stroke depression
Many stroke survivors suffer from depression. Post Stroke Depression (PSD) adversely effects on the recovery and
rehabilitation of stroke survivors. The frequency of PSD remained high in both acute and chronic stroke patients. Possible
structural correlates of PSD include cerebral microbleeds, lacunar infarcts and white matter changes. Functional changes in
several brain networks, such as the default mode network and the affective network have been reported in PSD. Latest findings
on the link between structural and functional brain changes and PSD will be discussed.
