BACKGROUND
The importance of white matter hyperintensities (WMH) for cognitive performance in older stroke patients is largely unknown. We hypothesized that processing speed and executive dysfunction… (More)
Stroke is a major risk factor for the development of dementia in the elderly. It is unclear which genes influence risk of delayed dementia after stroke. We tested a single nucleotide polymorphism… (More)
