Journal ArticleDOI

Music listening enhances cognitive recovery and mood after middle cerebral artery stroke

TL;DR: Recovery in the domains of verbal memory and focused attention improved significantly more in the music group than in the language and control groups, and music listening during the early post-stroke stage can enhance cognitive recovery and prevent negative mood.
Journal ArticleDOI

The inheritance of neuropsychological dysfunction in twins discordant for schizophrenia

TL;DR: It is suggested that there are multiple independently inherited dimensions of neural deficit in schizophrenia and a search for genes contributing to quantitative variation in discrete aspects of disease liability is encouraged.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical Determinants of Poststroke Dementia

TL;DR: The data suggest that a single explanation for poststroke dementia is not adequate; rather, multiple factors including stroke features (dysphasia, major dominant stroke syndrome), host characteristics (educational level), and prior cerebrovascular disease each independently contribute to the risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Post‐stroke cognitive impairment is common even after successful clinical recovery

TL;DR: The frequency and prognostic value of domain‐specific cognitive impairments were investigated in a large cohort of ischaemic stroke patients in order to investigate the impact of diverse neuropsychological deficits on functional outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Post-stroke depression, executive dysfunction and functional outcome.

TL;DR: Clinically significant executive dysfunction is frequent after ischaemic stroke and is closely connected with cADLs and to overall cognitive status but could be distinguished from depression by detailed neuropsychological examination.
