About this Research Topic
Stroke remains a leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide, presenting a spectrum of neurological manifestations that challenge clinicians and researchers alike. This Research Topic aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of diverse stroke syndromes, focusing on the intricate neuroanatomical and functional disruptions caused by cerebral infarctions. From the language impairments seen in various forms of aphasia to the complex symptoms associated with strokes, we seek to elucidate the distinct neuroanatomical locations contributing to these conditions. Additionally, we will delve into well-defined lacunar syndromes and their specific clinical profiles, investigate visual deficits resulting from stroke, and examine the occurrence of monoplegia as an isolated motor impairment. Through interdisciplinary research and clinical studies, we aim to enhance understanding of these conditions, improve diagnostic accuracy, and inform rehabilitative strategies, ultimately aiming to improve patient outcomes and quality of life. This Research Topic will serve as a valuable resource for neuroscientists, clinicians, and healthcare professionals dedicated to advancing stroke care and recovery.
The goal of this Research Topic is to address the complexity and diversity of neurological manifestations resulting from stroke, a leading cause of long-term disability, whilst bridging the gaps in understanding the neuroanatomical and functional consequences of different stroke syndromes. The problem we seek to address is the fragmented knowledge and limited cross-collaboration between studies focused on individual stroke manifestations. Recent advances in neuroimaging, neuroplasticity, and targeted rehabilitation techniques present an opportunity to develop more integrative and nuanced approaches to stroke care. By compiling cutting-edge research and clinical insights, we can identify patterns and commonalities across diverse stroke presentations.
Article submissions to this Research Topic are encouraged to focused on the following themes, however, are not limited to these:
- Aphasia and Language Impairments
- Brainstem Stroke Syndromes
- Lacunar Syndromes
- Visual Deficits
- Monoplegia and Motor Impairments
- Neuroimaging and Biomarkers
- Cognitive and Emotional Consequences
- Interdisciplinary Rehabilitation Approaches
