Journal ArticleDOI
Mood disorders in stroke patients: importance of location of lesion
Robert G. Robinson,Robert G. Robinson,Kenneth L. Kubos,Lyn Book Starr,Krishna Rao,Thomas R. Price +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that the severity of depression was significantly increased in patients with left anterior lesions as opposed to any other lesion location, and that there is a graded effect of lesions location on severity of mood change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nortriptyline treatment of post-stroke depression: a double-blind study
TL;DR: There was a significantly greater improvement in depression in patients treated with nortriptyline than in a similar group of placebo-treated patients, providing an important addition to the treatments available for stroke patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mood changes in stroke patients: Relationship to lesion location
Robert G. Robinson,Robert G. Robinson,Kenneth L. Kubos,Kenneth L. Kubos,Lyn Book Starr,Lyn Book Starr,Krishna Rao,Krishna Rao,Thomas R. Price,Thomas R. Price +9 more
TL;DR: The role of lesion location is examined by selecting a group of stroke patients with single stroke lesions and no prior history of psychiatric disorder to determine what clinical symptoms develop in the acute post-stroke period, and what relationship these symptoms might have to size or location of the brain lesion.
Journal ArticleDOI
The dexamethasone suppression test and mood following stroke.
TL;DR: The DST, although of limited clinical utility in this population because of false positive tests, may help define more homogeneous subtypes of poststroke depression for research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mood disorders in left-handed stroke patients.
Robert G. Robinson,John R. Lipsey,Karen Bolla-Wilson,Paula L. Bolduc,Godfrey D. Pearlson,Krishna Rao,Thomas R. Price +6 more
TL;DR: Results from left-handed patients hospitalized for stroke suggest that cerebral lateralization of poststroke mood disorders may be independent of cerebral motor dominance and language dominance.
