Enriched rehabilitation on brain functional connectivity in patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment by Yaping Huai, Weiwei Yang, Yichen Lv, Kui Wang, Hongyu Zhou, Yiqing Lu, Xiaoyun Zhang, Yaze Wang, Jibing Wang, Xin Wang

“…Despite the improvements, the cognitive behavioral performance assessment scores of both PSCI patient groups remained lower than those of the HC group. RSFC analysis in the ER group revealed strengthened positive functional connectivity between the right DLPFC and the left superior frontal gyrus (SFG) and left anterior cingulate gyrus (ACG), along with decreased functional connectivity between the right DLPFC and the right superior temporal gyrus (STG) and right precentral gyrus post-ER intervention.ConclusionER intervention is more effective than conventional medical rehabilitation in improving the cognitive function of PSCI patients, potentially by augmenting the FC between the right DLPFC and dominant cognitive brain regions, such as the left SFG and left ACG while attenuating the FC between the right DLPFC and non-dominant hemisphere areas including the STG and precentral gyrus within the right hemisphere.…”
