Greater negative volume loss in the right hemisphere correlates with poorer naming recovery post-stroke, indicating significant implications for rehabilitation.
Lesion volume showed a correlation with the negative monthly percent change in the left hemisphere volume, impacting language recovery metrics.
Participants completed MRI scans at two time points to assess language recovery using the Boston Naming Test after ischemic stroke events.
Findings may indicate that atrophy in the contralesional hemisphere serves as a marker for underlying neurodegenerative processes post-stroke.
