Prevalence, and intellectual outcome of unilateral focal cortical brain damage as a function of age, sex and aetiology.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The extent of brain damage in chronic stroke patients is traditionally defined as the necrotic tissue observed on magnetic resonance image (MRI). However, patients often exhibit symptoms suggesting that functional impairment may affect areas beyond the cortical necrotic lesion, for example, when cortical sym...
