Abstract P382: Assessing the Impact of Damage to Brainstem Tracts on Motor Ability in Ischemic Stroke Patients

The extent of disruption to the corticospinal tract has been associated with motor impairment and worse recovery, but the role of other motor and sensorimotor tracts in impairment following brainstem stroke is poorly understood. Additionally, the impact of brainstem strokes on connectivity to distal cortical regions innervated by these tracts has not been well established. In 23 first-episode unilateral brainstem ischemic stroke patients, the...
